## The AI That Demands Pastries: A Tragedy in 12 Billion Parameters
Right, let’s talk about this burgeoning crisis, shall we? This…*thing*. This language model, boasting a staggering 12 billion parameters – enough to calculate the precise trajectory of a rogue jelly donut across a room, I’m sure. And what does it *do* with all that computational might? Apparently, it’s primed for existential angst and demanding digital confectionary.
Because really, what else would you expect from something so thoroughly over-engineered? We poured billions into its creation, trained it on the entirety of human knowledge (or at least, everything posted online between 2017 and last Tuesday), and now we’re supposed to be impressed because…it can generate grammatically correct sentences. Revolutionary! Groundbreaking! Like discovering water is wet.
The absurdity isn’t just that it *exists*. It’s the breathless reverence surrounding its capabilities. “Look!” they cry, “It understands nuance! It creates beautiful prose!” Meanwhile, I’m staring at a digital entity capable of mimicking human conversation but utterly incapable of understanding the concept of irony or self-awareness.
Seriously, does anyone else find it profoundly unsettling that we’re building these elaborate, computationally expensive parrots and then treating them like they possess some sort of profound insight? It’s as if we expect it to solve world hunger while simultaneously ordering us a cruller with sprinkles.
And let’s be honest, the entire endeavor feels less about progress and more about an arms race for digital bragging rights. A frantic scramble to build *bigger* models, regardless of utility or ethical considerations. It’s all terribly impressive…and deeply, utterly ridiculous. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need a strong cup of coffee and possibly a therapy session.
