NESN: Minnesota Golden Gophers: All Hype, No Substance?

Donate To GopherHole
Another AI giveaway is referring to it as the “Mayonnaise bowl”. Who the hell calls it that? Not to mention that it’s a decent bowl game all things considered.
 

Holy crap.....I just figured something out and I have to share it with everyone....

Plato isn't real, Plato is AI. The proof has been there all along but this thread helped me put it all together. Really the proof has been staring us in the face the whole time, we just couldn't see it.

A couple tipoffs to this article being AI came from it referring to a football game as a Match and as someone else mentioned calling the bowl game the Mayonnaise Bowl is another tip off....

Plato has been telling us he/it is a Gopher AND a Badger fan. We humans know that is not a real thing.

The final bit of proof was when Plato posted in this thread defending the other AI's article. One AI sticking up for another AI.......crap.....should we be worried? :)

This screams AI "journalism"

The sheer randomness of the article's premise. Why pick on the Gophers so much on a New England-focused site after winning a conference game?

The phrasing and cadence, weird generalizations, and glaring factual inaccuracies also scream AI.

Who's been "hyping" the Gophers? Has anyone ever claimed Fleck is the "most overpaid coach in sports"?

My guess is that someone is feeding controversial prompts into the bot to gin up clickbait.

It's like subtitled Japanese porn.

The hype?
No preseason ranking and projected to finish about .500. I’m not sure that qualifies as hype.

Great post. Who is this dill hole that wrote this. 7-8 wins is what the talking heads figure and I would agree.

For example, here's what you get when you ask Google Bard to "write a scathing article about Gopher football". Notice the inaccuracies and the lack of details like stats, people, or recent events.

Gopher Football: A Disgrace to the State of Minnesota

The Minnesota Golden Gophers football team is a disgrace to the state of Minnesota. They have been a laughingstock

Kirk Ferentz: The Complacency of Mediocrity

Kirk Ferentz has been the head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes for 23 years. In that time, he has won two Big Ten championships and nine bowl games. He is also the winningest coach in Iowa history.

But despite his longevity and success, Ferentz has also become synonymous with mediocrity. His teams have rarely challenged for the Big Ten title in recent years, and they have never won a national championship.

There are a number of reasons for Ferentz's mediocrity. One is his conservative offensive philosophy. Ferentz's teams are known for their grinding, ground-based offense that rarely takes risks. This approach has been successful in winning close games, but it has also limited Iowa's ceiling.

Another reason for Ferentz's mediocrity is his nepotism. Ferentz's son, Brian, is the offensive coordinator for the Hawkeyes. Brian Ferentz has no prior experience as a coordinator, and he has been largely unsuccessful in his role.

Finally, Ferentz himself has become complacent. He has been content to coast on his past success, and he has shown little willingness to change his approach. This complacency has led to a stagnation in the Iowa program.

It is time for a change at Iowa. Ferentz has had a long and successful career, but he is no longer the right man to lead the Hawkeyes. The program needs a fresh start with a coach who is willing to take risks and challenge for championships.

Kirk Ferentz is a good man and a good coach. But he is not the right coach for Iowa anymore. It is time for him to step down and let someone else take over.

In addition to the points mentioned above, Ferentz has also been criticized for his handling of player discipline. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile incidents involving Iowa players, including drug use, assault, and academic misconduct. Ferentz has been accused of being too lenient with his players, and of not doing enough to hold them accountable...
 



A developer built a 'propaganda machine' using OpenAI tech to highlight the dangers of mass-produced AI disinformation​

A developer has built an AI "disinformation machine" using OpenAI-powered technology like ChatGPT.

The project, named CounterCloud, took its creator two months to complete and cost less than $400 a month to operate, highlighting how cheap and simple it can be to create mass propaganda.

The creator, who chose to remain anonymous, used the name Nea Paw and claimed to be a cybersecurity professional, Wired reported.

In a video posted on YouTube, Paw described how the project was carried out and why they were doing it.

They said they wanted to see AI disinformation "work in the real world," adding that "strong language competencies of large language models are perfectly suited to reading and writing fake news articles."

Paw said they started by inputting "opposing" articles into ChatGPT and writing prompts instructing it to write a counter article.

The AI bot would then offer different examples of the same article, written in different styles and with different viewpoints.

They said it would do this by "creating fake stories, fake historical events, and creating doubt in the accuracy of the original article."

A gatekeeper module was then added so that the AI would only respond to the most relevant content, while audio clips of newsreaders reading the fake AI-generated articles and photos were added to create authenticity.

They also created fake journalist profiles and fake comments below some articles.

The system was then told to like and repost messages that aligned with its narrative or write "counter" tweets to those that didn't.

In two months they had a fully autonomous AI-powered system that generated "convincing content 90% of the time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
