## Behold! Artificial Intelligence, Champion of… Average?
Right, let’s talk about this thing. This *thing* that’s supposed to revolutionize everything. Apparently, it’s a large language model, which roughly translates to “a very expensive parrot trained on the internet and capable of generating mildly interesting sentences.” I mean, seriously, we’re all going to be replaced by digital word-smiths now? Fantastic! Just what we needed – more perfectly crafted prose devoid of genuine human experience.
Apparently, this particular iteration is supposed to be *better* than its predecessors. Better at what, exactly? Crafting vaguely plausible product descriptions? Composing passive-aggressive emails with slightly improved grammar? I’m sure the future is safe in the hands of an algorithm that can write a decent haiku about spreadsheets.
And the best part? It’s *open source*. Which means every aspiring digital overlord now has access to build their own army of text generators! We can all look forward to a future flooded with generic content, indistinguishable from one another in its bland perfection. The originality will be… well, nonexistent.
It’s just…peak humanity, isn’t it? We invent something remarkable, and then use it to create slightly better versions of things we already had plenty of. Like a lottery winner who gets an extra ten dollars – sure, it’s nice, but is it really *life-altering*? This whole endeavor feels like the digital equivalent of someone finally figuring out how to perfectly microwave popcorn. A triumph! A revelation! We should all celebrate with lukewarm buttered kernels and the quiet despair that comes from realizing we’ve just created a more efficient way to produce mediocrity.
