## Oh Joy, Another AI Savior Arrives (And It’s Probably Just as Annoying)
Seriously? *Another* one? We’re drowning in these things! Apparently, the world needed a fresh iteration of large language models, because apparently existing ones weren’t sufficiently capable of generating slightly-more-coherent text about houseplants and recipe modifications. Because that’s exactly what humanity is facing an existential crisis over, isn’t it?
This new… entity… claims to be “open” – as if openness magically absolves you of the responsibility for whatever chaotic output spews forth. Open like a bag of chips: readily accessible, utterly devoid of nutritional value, and destined to leave crumbs everywhere. It’s charmingly modest too, boasting about being “3-12b” – which translates roughly to “a lot of numbers that sound impressive but mean absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t desperately trying to impress someone else.”
And the best part? We’re all supposed to be *excited*. The press releases are practically vibrating with breathless pronouncements about its potential. Potential for what, exactly? To generate more convincing phishing emails? To write even *more* bland corporate jargon? To fuel endless arguments online about whether it “feels” human?
Let’s be honest: it’s just another sophisticated parlor trick. Like that escaped kangaroo in South Carolina – a fleeting moment of amusement until the authorities arrive to restore order and return things to their predictable, mildly disappointing status quo. We’ll play with this for a week or two, marvel at its uncanny ability to mimic human writing (until you ask it a question requiring actual *thought*), then move on to the next shiny object promising to solve all our problems… which it definitely won’t.
Just… please, somebody develop an AI that can just automatically delete all of these announcements. That would be genuinely useful.
