## Behold! The Magnificent, Slightly-Less-Than-Revolutionary Text Generator

Seriously? A spiral of light in the New England sky? People are scrambling for explanations involving alien visitations and cosmic jellyfish, but apparently it was just a *rocket*. From South America. Of course it was. Because that’s precisely how we should be spending our time now – analyzing leftover rocket trails instead of, I don’t know, solving actual problems. It feels fittingly symbolic, doesn’t it? We’re distracted by sparkly things while the world burns slightly faster.

And speaking of sparkly things, let’s talk about this… creation. This 3-12b something-or-other that’s supposed to change everything. Apparently, *this* is where we are now! An entity designed to generate text! Groundbreaking! We’ve finally achieved peak human ingenuity: a machine that mimics the very thing we spend countless hours struggling to do ourselves – stringing words together in a vaguely coherent manner.

It’s billed as “open,” which I suppose means you can feel free to marvel at its limitations and then go back to writing your own actual prose. It’s described as “powerful,” which, judging by the fact that it needs *3 billion parameters* just to pretend to be clever, seems a tad generous. I’m sure it can generate marketing copy with all the enthusiasm of a beige wall. I bet it writes poetry about spreadsheets.

Honestly, the sheer audacity! The relentless march toward automating everything, even the things we already find mildly tedious! It’s…charming in its futility, really. Like a particularly earnest puppy trying to operate a tractor. Bless its digital heart. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some actual writing to do – something this particular creation probably *couldn’t* quite manage, yet.
