Collegiate Summer

In honor of the 2023 National Hat Day, we have decided to do a little comparison between our favorites, and the latest in AI technology.

If you aren’t familiar with ChatGPT, it is the latest chatbot release from OpenAI. This chatbot is incredibly capable, so much so, that referring to it as just a chatbot is underselling it. It’s capable of authoring completely new and distict essays. These essays are impressive enough that schools are banning it on the grounds that students are able to use it to cheat on school assignments. It can solve math problems, write computer code, and hold conversations. It also has some opinions. That’s what we are here to test…

Even as the calendar turns to November in Chicagoland, and the weather clearly isn’t designed for baseball, that doesn’t keep me from missing it. And granted, since this year meant a whole lot less baseball games to attend for all of us, any opportunity to go to a game is notable and worth considering. But going to a baseball game in November? Is that even possible?

As the calendar turns to June, each summer I begin to plan my family’s routes throughout the country for upcoming vacations. And by vacations I mean, unique opportunities for out-of-town baseball. But this June is unlike any other in memory, and we find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic and civil unrest. In some ways, it definitely makes us question what’s most important. On the other hand, isn’t it the perfect excuse to want to get away from it all?
