You can say what you want about this technology, but keeping it in an OOTP context, until the game has had all of its little quirks and bugs eradicated from its reports and the like, then for those interested in reporting their saves in a thread then it is an entirely viable and fairly effective option.
Perfect example for me from today.
Big Papi breaks the single-season HR record in one of my saves.
The game recap generated by OOTP:
Nothing wrong with that as a standalone game recap I guess, but it obviously makes no mention whatsoever of the historic moment.
In my Inbox, however, I get this after the game:
Which is nice, except for two things:
- Papi actually hit another dinger in the 8th
- The previous record was actually held by both Barry Bonds and Hank Thompson
So this is in fact pretty useless - FAKE NEWS!
Now, not being an expert on ChatGPT by any stretch, but with just a bit of training and a few tries, this is the report it spat out:
David Ortiz Breaks Single-Season Home Run Record, Cements Stellar Career
Thursday, October 9th, 1980 - David Ortiz's legacy in the Eclipse League reached new heights as he shattered the single-season home run record. Ortiz's exceptional performance, which included two home runs against the Birmingham Black Barons, propelled him to an extraordinary total of 46 home runs for the season. Surpassing previous record holders Hank Thompson and Barry Bonds, who each had 44 home runs in different seasons, solidified Ortiz's status as one of the league's most dominant power hitters.
As Ortiz soared to new heights, his career statistics further emphasized his remarkable prowess at the plate. Over his illustrious career, Ortiz amassed an impressive total of 384 home runs, placing him at the top of the league's open career leaderboard. His consistency and ability to produce awe-inspiring power numbers year after year have etched his name among Eclipse League greats, surpassing notable names such as Jose Abreu and Tony Armas.
A closer look at Ortiz's career statistics reveals his sustained excellence. From his early years with the Cuban Stars to his historic accomplishments, Ortiz's performance speaks volumes about his impact on the game. Across 14 seasons, he recorded 2,025 hits, including 407 doubles and 19 triples, along with his towering home runs. Ortiz's remarkable career also featured 1,227 runs batted in, 1,097 runs scored, and an impressive 1,003 walks. His consistent ability to get on base and drive in runs made him a feared presence in the batter's box.
Ortiz's contributions extended beyond his offensive prowess. He showcased his durability and work ethic by appearing in 2,041 games throughout his career. His impact went beyond individual success, as he played a significant role in the success of the Cuban Stars franchise.
The game against the Birmingham Black Barons epitomized Ortiz's career-long dominance. His two home runs not only etched his name in the record books but also showcased his dedication, skill, and raw power. Ortiz's ability to consistently produce at an elite level has made him a beloved figure among fans and a respected adversary among opponents.
As the season unfolds, the Eclipse League eagerly anticipates Ortiz's pursuit of further records and milestones. With each swing of the bat, fans hold their breath in anticipation of witnessing another historic moment from David Ortiz, the epitome of a true Eclipse League powerhouse.
Far from perfect, granted. A few struggles with tense and no mention whatsoever of his career HR tally. Plus too much generic hype-babble. But still pretty good I reckon. And far more useful for my thread if I so desired.
No dig at OOTP meant - it is a baseball simulator, not a word processor - but merely a riposte to those who feel AI has no part in all of this. Personally, I'd love to see it included as a feature in some future version. Would sure make some of those game recaps a bit more easily digestible.
BTW I am 55 and no tech wiz.
