The Brief: "This ain't it chief" is a way to respond to something online, essentially saying "no" and shutting it down.
DEEP DIVE
Similar to “weird flex but ok,” the phrase “this ain’t it chief” is used as a clapback for something someone disagrees with. It also works as a response to a fail or s**tpost.
me: i'm good at the new internet slang
friend: weird flex but ok
me: actually i'm proud of my ability to adopt a new method of communication but go off i guess??
friend: that ain't it chief

the Internet has ruined me in the sense that if a boy were to tell me he liked me I would probably just respond with “weird flex but ok” or “this ain’t it chief”
