AI Friday Part One: Will Sutherland
There has been a lot of talk in the media recently about Artificial Intelligence (AI).
AI is the simulation of human intelligence by computers or technology.
Is there cause for us to be concerned about advancements in technology fulfilling job roles that we previously conducted ourselves?
Are the machines set to take over the world?
We decided to investigate!
The SCCC Media Department have used a free chatbot programme and instructed it to create a number of articles about the Club, which we will share with you on Friday afternoons over the next few weeks.
The only information we gave the programme was a general topic and the length of the article.
Please note that each AI Friday article is entirely generated by AI and is not necessarily factually correct and does not necessarily reflect the views of Somerset County Cricket Club. Essentially, it’s just a bit of fun!
Today we asked for a 500-word piece on our new signing, Will Sutherland.
Here is what AI came up with:
