Without passing upon anyone’s feelings about the rise of artificial intelligence and the moral, practical, and economic questions attached thereto, I can’t help but believe I won’t be alone in saying this news is NUTS.
From the Associated Press:
“Major League Baseball players have agreed to let a tech company create AI characters of themselves that can chat and interact with fans.
Under an agreement announced Thursday between Genies and MLB Players Inc., the business affiliate of the players’ association, AI avatars of top stars will be created that can have conversations with fans. Each avatar will reflect a player’s voice and interests.”
There are no details yet on which players will be involved (I assume this is a deal with the union, broadly, and it’ll then be up to individual players on whether they want to participate for whatever cut they get). There are no particulars on exactly what the interaction will look like, or what the prices will be for users.
I am not a total luddite, and I can see certain paths toward long-term utility for generative AI and large language models. But this? Removing actual human interaction from an equation that is supposed to be ABOUT the human experience? I do not want this. I do not personally know anyone who I think would want this. How is this possibly a good idea?
You can, what, talk to a fake Mike Trout about his favorite chicken recipes? Ask a fake Justin Steele what he thinks about the Oscars moving to YouTube? Might be half-funny for about 10 seconds, before it inevitably descends into the only two possible paths: boredom or things no player would want a fake version of themselves talking about. It’s a law of the internet, after all.
