AI technology used for the NFL Draft

With the NFL draft coming up, I've been thinking a lot about how AI can help NFL teams scout players during the draft. AI technology could analyze countless data points, including a player's performance metrics, biometrics, and even social media activity to predict their potential success in the league. This could make the scouting process more efficient and effective, allowing teams to make smarter decisions when it comes to drafting players. For example, what if a team could use AI technology to help watch film on a high rated prospect like CJ Stroud, or provide statistics on a very low ranked draft prospect in order to have an edge on other teams. Additionally, AI could be used to simulate the combine and predict how well a player might perform in various drills, giving teams an even better understanding of their potential. The biggest downside with this is that it could take away human instinct when drafting a player which is important. Too much reliance on AI technology could make the draft less entertaining for fans. Either way, it's an exciting possibility for the future of the draft process and one that could change the landscape of the league.

Casey Neistats vlog

The other day I watched a video made by one of my favorite YouTuber's, Casey Neistat. The premise of the vlog was that he used an AI to make a vlog in the style of himself. Throughout the video he follows a script of what the AI said including camera angles, dialogue, and imagery. The entire vlog felt very stale and almost as if someone who has only seen a couple Casey Neistat videos wanted to try and recreate one. At the end, Casey talks about how AI doesn’t have any personality or human emotion behind it, therefore art made by humans will (at least for the time being) prevail. I thought this was an awesome message and a really cool video idea. I also felt it related a lot to what we have done in this class as a lot of it has been AI related. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygj9vBF_WUk
