AI Rick, yay or nay?

[PASabreFan]

It occurred to me that it won't be long before an AI Rick could call Sabres games and be a reasonable facsimile if not indistinguishable from the real deal.

Would you want to have an AI Rick?

I'm fairly certain it will be no worse than what we currently get

AI Rick 1.0 would already be better.

What I'm intrigued by is AI Rick 5.0, when the inflections, the rhythms, the pauses, the vocabulary, the creativity are perfected.

No.  

[Thorny]

Madness…Madness! 

[Eleven]

No.  No AI anything, thank you.

Luddite?

I’m ok with AI Rick as long as there’s a human color guy on the broadcast with insight and humor.

All due respect PA, but that is a terrible idea; creepy even.

AI is gonna strip all the value from most human creative endeavors.  I want no part of it.

So no Rob Ray then..

[clink]

AI, for mundane tasks? Sure

 

AI, for entertainment purposes? NFW!!!!

NO!!!! NOT NOW!!!! NOT EVER!!!!!!!!

If some clever wizkid designs an APP or something that anyone can use if they so choose, why not? 

[thewookie1]

To announce a game once in awhile, perhaps but I still feel it creepy.

[That Aud Smell]

Absofreakinglutely not.

[LGR4GM]

I'd burn my Sabres jerseys in alumni plaza.

No.  

Only RJ is RJ.   Accept no substitute.

And it very well could stifle future innovation and creative thought.

Me and my dad do have a recorded video of him announcing the sabres as Stanley Cup champions, just saying

If it ever should be in need

I've wondered if the Sabres also have something on file, thought of as the team foundered and Rick got up in years.

Fwiw, Rick was always bad at the fake play by play stuff. The 75 vs. 99 game was OK tho.

I’ve wondered about it too and came to the conclusion that they probably would have the foresight

..but then I remind myself we are talking about the Buffalo Sabres under Terry Pegula and… well I’m glad I’ve got it, just in case

AI is going to ruin the planet. Social media got it started, AI is going to dump a tanker of gasoline on it. 

Hell to the no, RJ will live in our hearts 

[PerreaultForever]

AI Rob Ray would be pretty easy to do. Just make excuses and talk about the next one. 

[Big Guava]

Would be way better than this joker doing it now.

You are on to something. 

I had dinner with a troubled 35 year old man.  He asked me a question on calculating a simple formula and rather than hear the explanation he stopped me and said never mind, he would just ask Chat Gpt.  He wanted the final answer without knowing why it’s the answer.  He was impressed that my answer was the same as Chat Gpt but saw no value in understanding why. 

Several other topics came up and he for asked advice, but then became disagreeable and told me to forget it, he would ask Chat GPT.   I told him AI is not the tool for this kind of advice, the answer is not in a formula.  He smirked and placated me.   

Later, he got political and told me things about a few current events that I never considered.   He smuggly proclaimed I should get news from internet sources and podcasts and everything on TV news is a lie.  He may be correct on the TV media, I don’t know.   It seems to me that social media and AI can easily create confusion and division.
