Pretty sure a raccoon wrote this.

My analysis it that it is a plot by a company that makes "child proofing" gadgets. People are having fewer children, so sales of child-proofing gadgets are falling. People are keeping dogs and cats as pets instead, but neither dogs nor cats have the dexterity to make child-proofing gadgets a must-have pet accessory. Pet Raccoons could save the child-proofing gadget industry, with only a minor pivot to tougher, gnaw resistant gadgets.

Hm. Would raccoons want to be domesticated, or would they see it as a form of enslavement to humans?

(But I wonder if AI wrote it...)

I get that vibe, too, on the article. A little too: "Summarize this article and use it to write a supporting argument for this premise"

Yup. It feels like a precocious 12-year-old's class presentation for an assignment. Which I guess is about where llm is at these days.
