Gannett pauses AI sports writing program following embarrassing launch

A week after an AI-generated high school football game recap went viral, Gannett is pausing its use of an artificial intelligence sports writing tool in local outlets, per Axios.

The article in question was a recap of the football game between Ohio schools Westerville North and Westerville Central. The article’s robotic style and lack of personality set off social media as people from all around the sports media world not only ripped it to shreds but also held it up as an example of why this is a bad look for the newspaper industry.

We are continually evaluating vendors as we refine processes to ensure all the news and information we provide meets the highest journalistic standards.”

The First Annual People's Sports Emmy Awards

Hey guys,

In case you missed it, I was delighted and honored to participate as a panelist in Awful Announcing's First Annual People's Sports Emmy Awards.

Although our individual votes are not revealed, I know you'll be shocked to learn that I voted for Vin Scully as best play by play broadcaster.

Enjoy!

Dakich is a great analyst because he's not afraid to be honest and not be critical of players and coaches. Just imagine how honest he would be if he could bring his "major-league swearing" game to ESPN? Couldn't we just broadcast one college basketball game a year on HBO to make this happen?
