## A Deer in the Water, and AI Too? Seriously?!

Right, let’s talk about this. Because apparently, we’ve collectively lost our minds. We now have highly trained professionals – lifeguards! – risking their lives to pluck a *deer* out of the Atlantic Ocean. A deer! Like, seriously, does anyone else feel like reality is actively trolling us? I picture it bobbing along, looking bewildered, probably thinking, “Well, this isn’t on the foraging itinerary.” And we’re spending taxpayer dollars… rescuing it? Should we be launching a campaign to teach deer advanced swimming lessons instead? Maybe a tiny life vest for every fawn?

And then, just *because* the aquatic ungulate rescue wasn’t sufficiently ridiculous, we get thrust into the glorious world of this…this *thing*. A language model. Another one! Because clearly, humanity has nothing better to do than generate text that attempts to mimic human conversation. It’s supposed to be innovative? Revolutionary? I just see a digital parrot with slightly more complex vocabulary and a penchant for predictable sentence structures.

It’s designed to *assist* us? Assist in what exactly? Crafting even more pointless blog posts about rescued deer? Generating personalized haikus celebrating the beauty of processed data? It’s all so wonderfully, perfectly… unnecessary. Like adding sprinkles to already overly sugary cereal. Or sending a search party for a misplaced sock.

Honestly, I’m starting to suspect we’re living in some elaborate performance art piece designed to test our sanity. A deer adrift at sea, and now *this*. What’s next? Trained squirrels delivering personalized financial advice? Please, someone just tell me it’s all a dream. A very long, deeply unsettling dream.
