Apologies to Otis if I’m overstepping, but wanted to put this out early since we can all watch and make snarky QBR posts today as we watch.
Enjoy this final glimpse of football as we head into the dark doldrums off summer speculation and hot takes, and post your comments here. I’ll be there, and if I can snap a few pictures I’ll share later in the day.
Have at it, scamps, and as always, behave.
I wonder how AI will begin to influence the game. By now it knows the entire history of our own offense and defense for each down, distance and game clock as it will for all of our opponents. It is possible from what I’ve seen elsewhere that AI can call plays faster…better?…than the coordinators. I would guess it can at least dial up a quick list of choices to choose from vs the existing play chart. Would love to see an interview with Kirby about this.
AI vs Bobo? A Bobobot? You bring up a great point. Will savvy coaches and coordinators use AI much like analytics? By the way, in a game called by AI vs Bobo, who you takin’?
Even AI can’t compute some of Bobo’s decisions, so I take Bobo after AI self-destructs. I can hear HAL now: “Mike, what are you doing? I can’t let you do that, Michael”:
“AI self destructs.” Lol nicely done.
AI is probably already impacting game planning, but I would be very suspect of it making snap decisions while the play clock is winding down or the offense is at the line of scrimmage. The risk associated with a model hallucination at the wrong time is way too high at this point.
Can it be an aid to an analyst or an assistant who is doing advance scouting on opponents or self-scouting? Yep.
With some of the rumors about cyber and Indiana last year, I would be hesitant to trust that information is protected.
AI could be programmed to call 37 screen passes per game and .001 crossing routes.
Thanks JP, I’ve been busy this morning getting set back up to record G-Day for archiving on Rumble. Everyone cross your fingers I got the setup right!
