I see these folks at giants games sometimes, they usually have a little mini golf pencil and a clipboard or something.

I helped someone extract data from one of those old DOS personal-database software programs. He had recorded every scorecard from every game he went to for many years. Each year had its own floppy disk.

I really feel like this is the only application of AI I would want to support right now. If an LLM can take in these fans commentary and then add a bunch of hallucinations and cultural biases, well, that sounds like pure entertainment.

  AI Commentary seems fun, especially when you can choose different personalities, biases, etc. It’ll be a while before it can replace a true play-by-play announcer, but with seven second TV delay it’s maybe close to feasible. The Finals is a video game with AI voiceover for its commentary, and it’s pretty engaging. I’d expect to see this in FIFA soon if it isn’t there already.

    ESPN is already partly doing this with "SC For You" [1]. It gives you a personalized feed of sports clips, generated and narrated by AI that uses the voices of ESPN on-air talent.

    There's a Skyrim mod called Chim I've been playing with recently, it sends everything that happens in game to chatgpt then a narrator that you can talk to comments about quests, it also adds full Ai dialogue to every npc. It's very funny to ask it about how it thought you did on a quest.

Yeah baseball scorekeeping is an interesting part of the game.

  You mean it's the only way to make the game interesting! I kid, but I had a roommate who liked to do scorekeeping, and that was an actual quote of his.
