Artificial Intelligence in Sports

[JRHEETER]

Yeah you got me!

This whole thing started because I said I will not use AI, and I don't respect people who use AI to write emails. The reason I don't is because of the ethical and environmental impacts of this.

If a few people in this thread decide to stop using it because of what I've posted, I'm happy. If you're still lazy enough to ignore those things to have AI type a 3 sentence response or an email, that's on you.

But thats not what you said in your original post. That is a totally different argument.

You said:

I love getting AI emails. Auto-delete and ignore.

As lazy as it gets, and I will not waste my time responding to someone that doesn't have the time to compose a personal email.

My point was to prove that if you got an Ai email, you would not recognize it as Ai. Nothing about environment etc.

In my second reply I even had it try to make more obvious that I used Ai in the response and you still could not tell.

My point stands, you would have no idea if I sent you an email (which is less conversational than a message board) that I used Ai on to help write. So you would not be able to "auto-delete and ignore". Honestly, you have probably already replied to multiple emails that are Ai generated that you did not have the slightest clue that they were Ai. Which is the whole point of what that discussion was about.

Regardless if you're able to tell if it's AI or not, I would be upset if I found out someone I was talking to was using AI. It brings all sorts of questions, does this person think I'm not worth the time to actually write to me? Does this person not have the ability to convey their thoughts without artificial help?

Absolutely, valid concerns by all means.

The fact of the matter is, when I am sending out a generic email to a few hundred people, Ai sometimes is a great tool.

And the point of my posts were to prove that in 99% of the cases when its written a certain way, its almost impossible to tell if its Ai.

Also for those folks saying dont use it for grammatical errors or spelling...you better not be using any spell check when you type any email, text, responses in this forum etc!

Gotcha. I saw athletic training and pictured computers taping ankles and rehabing ACL repairs. You meant it for strength and conditioning.

No that's in 2032 when we are back in the nnnBE ;-)

Everyone believes in something. More power to you and your beliefs. But it's tough when people start bringing up the environment. People need food to survive. 99.99% of food is probably delivered to supermarkets in trucks. Gas powers trucks. People want electric vehicle. Electric vehicles affect the power grid. You can't have everything. It doesn't work like that. With the good comes the bad. It might not be the greatest example, but are you going to change things up and not have technology available to use.

If you want the best technology, and we do want it keep advancing, you have to understand that others are going to use that same technology in the way they want. It's unfortunate, but it is.

People need food to survive. They do not need generative AI to make a picture of Bryan Hodgson in an SU polo.

A spell check algorithm is not poisoning the environment.

Or driving up my electricity cost.

Anyone who hasn't embraced Ai yet is falling behind the times. What will be interesting, and it's probably already happening in some countries, but elementary school education will probably be totally revamped. How much, besides the real basics will people need to know. Computers will do all the thinking for them. I'm glad I grew up when I did, but I'm also envious of the future.

And, I knew I would never have any use for quadratic equations.

AI will be the end of civilization, unless we put serious guardrails and regulations around it. But we have a dysfunctional national legislative body in Congress doing nothing as usual. So instead, we have for-profit tech companies doing whatever they want because they’re afraid of falling behind to their competitors in the AI race. People, citizens need to decide what’s best for society when it comes to AI, not corporations led by rapacious billionaires. Unfortunately that’s not the direction this is going.

I'm just going to give my thoughts on the impact of AI
Yes it CURRENTLY uses more electricity and water then it should
CURRENTLY the following develops are in the works
Moving data centers to solar and wind power
Using liquid submerging (and talks of moving data centers to outer space) to lower both energy consumption
Establishing regulations to show the carbon footprints of all AI Models
Algorithmic optimazation to smaller more efficent models

Ways AI is helping the environment
Detecting wildfires faster, monitoring and mapping icebergs for climate research

The military and AI we missed the boat in trying to stop them. Our military started in the 50s and 60s then went all in on AI in the 90s. No turning back at this point.

Is AI perfect, hell no
Where ALOT of mistakes made, hell yes
They are correcting the mistakes to make it better and it still has a LONG way to go

 

[PAcuse]

Now we see the dangerous inherit to the system

(yes the billionare class is ruining the world but I only know how to coup with jokes)

This thread is wild. I hope AI soon answers all your emails too. I look forward to the dead internet version of this site where all the same nonsense carries on but it is just bot versions of all of us. Capitalism and greater "efficiency" tools for the working class, what could go wrong? I can't wait to be more productive and get even more done to help the rich get richer. (I wrote this with AI, or did I?) insert extra long dash that nobody but ChatGPT uses.

As someone who has spent the last 15 years of my life immersed in technology, AI will be a net negative for humanity based on all of human history up to this point. Jobs will be lost, skills will be lost, critical thinking will continue to diminish and propaganda will flourish like we've never seen before. We're absolutely cooked.

Well besides that...can we win more Football games with AI?

No

That would be data analytics, which could use AI. AI alone will not win us more games.

 

[upperdeck]

You cant use AI in real time correct? So if you game plan with it and things go astray you are kind in a big hole.

I’m certain AI can help with game planning and analysis of player performance. As others have said it’s just another tool at the moment & the output needs serious scrutiny.

Wanted to echo others’ concerns about AI - people in the field say it will be less than a year before we could experience events where AI achieves some independence and chooses to act in ways that we cannot undo because we humans, as information processors, are just too slow.

Not sure why we need that additional threat to our standard of living but I’m at the point where I think it’s be a great boon to civilization to lose access to the internet. Go back to the days of producing things we repair ourselves, for instance. It was, for many of us, happier times

Why would you NOT be able to use AI in real time?

I thought you were not allowed to have laptops and stuff connected to the internet during a game?

 

[JRHEETER]

Back in 2016 they suspended it for a year.

What do you think all those Ipads are connected to that they are using during the game that are getting video footage sent to them?

 

[upperdeck]

I thought they said they only had access to locally stored data and game feed.

• Football: Starting in 2024, teams can use up to 18 tablets to watch in-game video (broadcast/endzone feeds). They cannot use these devices for analytics, general internet access, or to view external, unapproved data.

NO GENERAL INTERNET ACCESS!?!? HOW DO THEY UPLOAD TO ALL THE SOCIALS?
