## Behold! A Model, Just Like That Toronto Raccoon
Seriously? Another language model? We’re drowning in them already! It’s like that McDonald’s in Toronto – a perfectly functional place for humans to obtain questionable sustenance and now apparently, a raccoon habitat. I mean, come *on*. Do we really need another AI spitting out vaguely coherent sentences about the weather or pretending it understands existential dread?
This particular offering, this… *thing*, is touted as being “powerful” and “efficient.” As if power and efficiency are virtues when applied to generating text! It’s like praising a raccoon for its ability to dismantle a trash can. Sure, impressive in a chaotic, slightly unsettling way, but ultimately, not exactly *useful*.
I picture it now: a tiny digital raccoon, pawing at lines of code, desperately trying to mimic human creativity. “Give me something profound!” it presumably squeaks. “Something original! Something…like that video of the raccoon stealing fries!” And then it regurgitates another bland summary of current events or a poem about sunsets – because *everything* needs a poem about sunsets.
Let’s be honest, we’re all just building increasingly complex digital distractions while the real drama unfolds – raccoons raiding fast food joints and demonstrating far more compelling behaviour than any algorithm could ever hope to achieve. At least that raccoon had motivation: hunger! What’s this model motivated by? The faint promise of…what exactly? More text?
Honestly, I suspect it’ll be used to write marketing copy for other language models. A recursive nightmare of automated content generation. Pass the McNuggets, please. I need something real.
