## Oh Joy, Another “Breakthrough” in AI Horseplay
Right then. Let’s talk about this… *thing*. This new Large Language Model (LLM), apparently capable of churning out text with a vaguely impressive sheen. Because, honestly, what we were lacking was *more* text. The internet isn’t already drowning in the stuff? Clearly, someone felt the desperate need for another algorithm to regurgitate pre-existing information and occasionally stumble onto something resembling original thought.
And the hype! Oh, the glorious, relentless hype. “Cutting edge!” they cry. “Revolutionary!” As if we haven’t seen this dance before. Remember when every other week brought us a new AI poised to solve world hunger? Or cure cancer? Or finally understand irony? (Still waiting on that last one.)
This latest offering, let’s just call it ‘The Generator,’ is being lauded for its “open access” and “smaller footprint.” Smaller! As if the environmental cost of training these behemoths isn’t already a moral crisis. Smaller now means we can feel *slightly* less guilty while contributing to the insatiable appetite of silicon valley, right?
Honestly, it’s all so predictably… charmingly predictable. A carefully orchestrated release designed to elicit gasps of astonishment and breathless pronouncements about the future of everything. Meanwhile, somewhere out there, a horse is still stuck on top of a farmer’s fence, needing *actual* human intervention, not another digitally-generated haiku about its predicament.
It’s all just…performance art now. A dazzling display of technological hubris intended to distract us from the real problems facing humanity. Go ahead, generate your poems and summaries! I’ll be over here wondering if anyone’s actually thinking about how to get that horse down safely.
