## Behold, the AI That’s Almost Useful (Almost)
Seriously? Another language model? As if we *didn’t* have enough digital parrots squawking back at us already! Apparently, some folks are thrilled about this… thing… 3-12b it is. Sounds like a fancy robot vacuum cleaner, not something capable of generating insightful prose or solving complex problems. I mean, let’s be honest, the bar for “impressive” in the AI space has been lowered so far it’s practically subterranean.
The hype machine is spinning faster than usual, proclaiming this iteration to be revolutionary. Revolutionary! It can *generate text*! Groundbreaking! We’re all supposed to gasp and clutch our pearls at its ability to rearrange existing information into slightly different sentences. I’m picturing the marketing team now, beaming with pride over their AI’s uncanny knack for summarizing Wikipedia articles.
It’s like watching a toddler painstakingly build a tower of blocks – adorable, sure, but hardly cause for national celebration. And don’t even *start* me on the inevitable “creative writing” it will produce – expect endless poems about sunsets and philosophical musings on the meaning of…well, whatever.
And what’s with these increasingly large model names? 3-12b! It sounds like a military designation for a particularly inefficient toaster oven. It’s probably powered by enough electricity to light up a small city just to *think*. Fabulous. Just what we needed: an AI that drains the planet to tell us what’s already in our fortune cookies.
I’m sure it’ll be absolutely vital for…something. Eventually. Maybe it can finally write my grocery list, provided I feed it five terabytes of data on kale varieties and organic almond milk first. Wonderful.
