My favorite baseball team acquired a new pitcher who throws slowly compared to the league average. This got me thinking about stuff.
I asked CHAT GPT some questions-
-who has the fastest bat speed in MLB?–
Chat– In 2024, Giancarlo Stanton of the New York Yankees holds the distinction of having the fastest bat speed in Major League Baseball. His average swing speed is an impressive 80.6 mph, which significantly exceeds the MLB average of 72 mph. This exceptional bat speed allows Stanton to generate tremendous power, contributing to his ability to hit some of the hardest home runs in the league. Other players with notable bat speeds include Oneil Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates at 77.7 mph and Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies at 77.0 mph

Alonso’s ability to generate high bat speed contributes significantly to his power-hitting capabilities, making him one of the top contenders in events like the Home Run Derby .
I responded-
You just listed the top 20 bat speeds in mlb and pete alonso was not on list. then you said he ranks 21st at 75 mph, which would put him 10th on the list. Why were you wrong?

God save the people relying on AI for correct information.
Is 75.2 (Jo Adell) not faster than 75 (Pete Alonzo)? So why is Adell ranked below Alonzo (75), but still above Alvarez (also 75)?
Is Chat GPT run by the ladies of The View?

Don’t know shit about baseball but that don’t seem right … isn’t 75.8 > 75.5?

They got the Artificial; right, but the Intelligence wrong.
Is Pete Alonzo a white guy and so Ai has been trained to ignore his stats?
Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball, I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.
Hmmm… reminds me of some otherwise quite bright people who when confronted with information containing credentialed sourcing AUTOMATICALLY and RIGIDLY believe such information is true. To the point of bigotry even, I call your attention to global warming and to white racism (excepting mine, it is real), two items of information obviously entirely false yet deeply believed by otherwise at least relatively intelligent people. AI has insisted there are snake fights involved in determining validity of masters degree work presented for adjudication.
I’ve had a couple of “exploratory” conversations on slow evenings. The “You are correct, and I apologize for the confusion.” and “You make an excellent point.” can become common. As an ancient programmer, from the days of front panel switches, Hollerith cards, and paper tape, I asked for help designing a small, real-time program for a PDP-11. Supposed to be a specialty of AI but the suggested snippets of code were terribly inefficient.
I wandered into a discussion of the origin of petroleum. Answer, “ancient marine organisms.” Me, “there are hydrocarbons on Saturn’s moon Titan. Are you suggesting there were oceans on Titan? Answer, “You make an excellent point…” Round and round we went until I got bored.
I don’t know why I let it annoy me but it does: when you get info about an account, for example, and the stupid bot says, “I am happy I could help you.”
This sounds dumb coming from a human (which is why no human call center reps say it) but even stupider from a bunch of wires that cannot experience joy. It makes me wonder if they are just trying to get us to accept statements without question and getting used to not thinking. I mean, they’ve used humans for years to do that, why not chat bots.
And has anyone ever see how “offended” chat bots get when you type to them that you don’t want to chat to a bot?
AI, as smart as it can’t overcome GIGO.
