## Behold! The AI Bear Brawl (and It’s Slightly Disappointing)
Right, let’s talk about this… *thing*. This 3-12b model they’re so proudly presenting. Apparently, it’s supposed to be a monumental achievement in the realm of large language models? Please. I’ve seen better prose scrawled on bathroom stalls by sleep-deprived college students.
The fanfare! The breathless pronouncements about open access and democratized AI! It all builds you up for something genuinely revolutionary, only to deliver… this. A chatbot that occasionally strings together coherent sentences, interspersed with moments of baffling non-sequiturs that would make a toddler blush.
Seriously, I asked it to write a haiku about squirrels. What did I get? Something vaguely rhyming involving “nutty glee” and an unsettling obsession with acorns the size of bowling balls. *Nutty glee*?! My grandmother’s knitting circle has more insightful commentary on woodland creatures!
And don’t even get me started on the “creative writing.” It’s like they fed it a diet exclusively of clichés and rejected fortune cookie fortunes. I expected profound, poignant observations about the human condition; instead, I received predictable drivel about chasing dreams and finding inner peace. Groundbreaking stuff, truly.
I’m not saying it’s *completely* useless. It can probably generate some passable marketing copy for a discount carpet retailer, or maybe draft an email complaining about lukewarm coffee. But revolutionary? A democratizing force for the masses? Give me a break! Let’s just appreciate it for what it is: a moderately competent text generator that desperately needs to be sent back to training camp and forced to read actual literature. Preferably something with fewer bowling ball-sized acorns.
