## A Whale, A Boat, and Apparently, Artificial Intelligence Too?
Right, let’s talk about whales flipping boats. Because apparently, that’s just a Tuesday now. We’ve got fishermen out there earning an honest living – battling the elements, dodging rogue waves, probably wrestling with stubborn nets – and what happens? Some colossal aquatic mammal decides their vessel looks like a particularly enticing toy. A *toy*! Like a bathtub ducky for a sea giant! And no one’s hurt? Honestly, I’m suspicious. Were they secretly filming a reality show about near-death experiences at sea? Is there insurance for this sort of thing? Because I’d love to see the claim form. “Damage: One boat. Cause: Existential angst of a breaching cetacean.”
And naturally, because we live in *these* times, someone had to capture it on video. Because what’s more important than documenting a near-tragedy? It’s all just endlessly entertaining fodder for the internet’s insatiable appetite for chaos.
Now, I know you’re probably thinking, “Why are you ranting about a flipping whale? What does that have to do with anything?” And you’d be right to ask! But it doesn’t. It *doesn’t*. This whole situation is just the perfect metaphor, isn’t it? Something massive and unpredictable – something that simply *exists* – can overturn all our carefully constructed plans in a heartbeat. Just like some newly released language model capable of generating text. It promises to revolutionize…something. It’s going to change how we interact with information! It’ll be transformative!
Except, it probably won’t. It’ll likely generate slightly more convincing fake news and allow for even *more* elaborate catfishing schemes. But hey, at least we have videos of whales being sassy about boats. Prioritize what’s important.
