What is the potential of artificial intelligence in the future of the Los Angeles Rams, and articles related to anticipating how well the team will perform in the upcoming season? Well, that is a serious question that I ask myself frequently. At some point, authoring articles will pivot from human authors to computer logic driven by learning algorithms. Thankfully, I am old enough to understand the perils that come with turning over the reins to a computer.
Not only will people take one more step backward in the field of effective communication, but computers will remain limited in what their logic can absorb and generate. In essence, can the current level of artificial intelligence develop sound logic to assess the Rams' chances in 2025?
At the prompting of another FanSided writer, I dared to address the chances of the Rams offense performing well in 2025 by employing the aid of ChatGPT. To get my answer, I had to prompt the AI aide with 3 questions/clarifications. They were:
- How well will the Los Angeles Rams' offense perform in 2025?
- Matthew Stafford will still be the quarterback. Cooper Kupp is no longer with the Rams
- The Rams will go with wide receivers Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, and Davante Adams. The team has added rookie WR Konata Mumpfield, rookie TE Terrance Ferguson, and rookie RB Jarquez Hunter
And so, the stage was set. What would ChatGPT spit out? I was eager to find out.
The output was expansive, covering wide receivers, rookie TE Terrance Ferguson, rookie RB Jarquez Hunter, overall offensive identity, and concluding with a final assessment for 2025 that included this summary:
"Overall, if the rookies step up and the offensive line can provide decent protection, the Rams could have a top-10 offense in 2025, capable of competing in the NFC West and beyond. The combination of Staffords leadership, Adams elite skills, and a developing supporting cast gives the Rams a lot of potential."ChatGPT
Did the exercise provide any unique insights? No. Did the AI offer any controversial interpretations about the Rams' offense for 2025? No again. In the end, the information provided seemed more akin to something out of Reader's Digest than Skynet.
Okay, that settles my concerns. As much as I'd love to say that ChatGPT is a go-to site for Rams insight, it hasn't reached that level of performance just yet. The user has to have a strong working knowledge of the team in order to get anything useful from the dialogue. And for those who have suggested that I am clipping and pasting articles from Artificial Intelligence, I am happy to say that I am not. But to be fair, I've thought the same thing about the nastier comments in forums and comments sections, too.
Looks like nobody got that right.
As always, thanks for reading.
