No, this does not herald the future.
This heralds the relatively-recent arrival of advanced statistics to the college basketball world - rebounding percentages, scoring percentages, runs -- these are pieces of information anyone could glean by simply looking at a box score, or, at worst, looking at a site with advanced metrics like www.kenpomeroy.com.
All of the game recaps read basically the same - a sure sign of a homogenous data set combined with some fairly crafty name-replacement.
Perhaps this could replace the AP game recaps, but anything beyond that is still far beyond our AI reach.
- smokinn 16y agoWell it's a first step. The next step is pretty obvious: Use voice recognition software to analyze the remarks made by the announcers over the course of the game and blend that into the reporting. If you can properly analyze inflection and special events from the speech of the live game you can add game highlights to the article.
