AI: What to do in the Hudson Valley this week
The Hudson Valley Renegades hosted an Artificial Intelligence Night on May 16 during their game against the Brooklyn Cyclones. All of the evening’s promotions, according to organizers, were to be generated by AI (artificial intelligence).
AI is gaining a lot of traction in the mainstream, and, quite frankly, we here at HVNY had a long weekend and I was certainly ready to put those robots to work. But, unfortunately for us, ChatGPT – the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI – has “an AI language model with a knowledge cutoff in September 2021,” so the bot does not generate “real-time information about specific events happening in the Hudson Valley this week.”
We rule, for now, robots. Here’s the link of calendar listings for events happening this week that my human hands typed up for you.
ChatGPT did have some general suggestions on what to do in the Hudson Valley this week. Here’s our full bot-convo:
