Just watched a replay of last night's game on Youtube. It was weird, lots of AI stuff happening which was unsettling enough, but then the game veered into fantasy or something. I'd listened to the game last night, had the score in my head when I went to bed and informed the wife.
However, the game we saw today had a final score of 42 - 40, with us still winning by the same margin, but a ton of scores I didn't hear last night. At first, we were worried about my brain, seriously, but then I looked it up and saw that no, didn't happen that way.
I know you guys know this computer stuff, so could anyone enlighten me here? WTF!!!

OK, I read it's a thing. Should we be worried about something bad coming in on the game?
Just a time slip to another reality. We still won so I wouldn't worry about it.
Personally, I try to stay away from AI generated content when possible. AI sucks, it has limited uses and shouldn't be trusted to make any sort of critical decisions. It will make the rich richer and drive up electrical costs significantly for the rest of us.
Clickbait has effectively been outsourced to AI already as either it occasionally gets lucky and gets something right, or as is more often the case, it creates content that is incorrect in some way which seems to generate the most engagement on the internet. This then furthers a cycle of misinformation created by AI.
Sorry for the rant.
Pretty much all of this
My guess by "AI" here you mean language models trained on unreliable sources yield unreliable decisions that would be hazardous to make critical decisions.
There are many AI tools that can dramatically improve critical decision-making. For example, there are AI-based diagnostics that can determine whether a cancer patient can respond better to a certain cancer treatments. The AI models are trained to predict outcomes (such as likelihood of survival) based on various inputs (mostly cancer-related genetics). Doctors certainly can improve the outcomes of patient lives and increase the number of patients that beat cancer by using well-trained, FDA-scrutinized AI tools. And there are so many other fields in which AI tools can be used to make much better decisions than humans because the machine can handle the data and identify signatures of signals that a human cannot process. Are any of these tools perfect? No. Should any of these tools be used a solitary source without human oversight? No. But AI tools can certainly improve critical decision-making and improve humanity.
(Not meaning to call you out, but I often see people conflating Chat-GPT-like AI tools with AI in totality. These tools (Gemini, Deep-Seek, Chat-GPT, etc.) are one rather specific AI-tool. They are language models trained on internet sources to formulate narrative responses based on quickly collating text within it's trained model to guess what is the most appropriate response, one word or phrase at a time. This is inherently as reliable as the collated internet sources used, the scrutiny that is placed on the guessing of what to put into the response, and whether the prompt can be effectively answered by the content within the training data.)

I think this is a lot of the beef because it often goes to a BS source and the response is factually wrong. The other beef is how it is misused to create false information...fake photos and/or speech. I can see libel laws being revisited to increase the ability of targets/victims to obtain relief.
I've learned that when using it to call it a liar a couple of times before looking on it to produce anything moderately useful as background material.
Yea. These are some of the major issues. And, one solution (one would think) is to have the AI cite their sources. The issue is that these language models learn how to write a source citation but just make up the source with something believable but not real.
For images, Ihave noticed Gemini will not allow one to create images of celebrities with "make it realistic" or similar command. You can command it to "make it the style of South Park" or some other clearly fictional depiction, but that also has its own issues. Not sure if other image generators are doing the same.
I believe Obscure Vinyl has found the best use of AI...
Now I want the link so I can see alternate reality
I merely googled vt vs ncstate football last night youtube whole game replay.
Didn't know what all the ai looking shit was, but just figured it was a youtube thing since I don't use the site and don't know a thing about all that stuff.
I know better now, but feel stupid and a little ill used, though it seems it was free, at least.
The video game link came up right after the condensed game videos when I used your search criteria
I think you may have watched someone play NCAA 26 on their Playstation 5: link. Does that look like what you watched? The final score lines up.
Lmao. This might be one of the funniest things I've heard in a while 😂. Did OP really just watch somebody play PS5 for 1.5 hours thinking it was the real game?
Well, yep, that's about how it went. We knew something was hinky, but we're babes in the woods at that shit and when the game was over, we knew something was wrong, but the audio was real, it was our players and at first, at least, real plays from the night before.
Happy to have given you a laugh, we were confused for sure, and at first, I really did wonder at my cognitive function, being an old guy. Before the game was over, we realized something was wrong, but still wonder at what we saw. Why in the world would that be posted on Google? Kids with nothing better to do?
Only one thing left to say, let me say it loudly enough, GIT OFF MY FUCKIN' LAWN!!!!!
The fact that they started the game with actual plays from the real game is (a) diabolical and (b) hilarious.
And likely illegal, but I'm glad I provided a source of humor for y'all. I really don't understand why that was done in the first place. Nerds with no life?
Next thing you know, I'll fall for the "granpa, help me get outta jail" phone scam, though I have no kids, right?
Thing is, I should have done some research to understand the thing before asking the community. We decided to ride the replay out to see what they were trying do, so not like we were fooled for an hour and a half, but like I said, I was truly worried about my brain for several minutes trying to reconcile memory with the "replay". Did I mention before that we're not internetters, don't do Youtube, etc? Never played a game online, don't know anyone under 20 who does. But now I know.
Playing video games on YouTube is somehow an entire industry. Last estimate I saw, somewhere around 6 billion dollars annually is made by the gaming section of YouTube. The person that uploaded that video was probably just trying to make a little pocket change.
Btw - I'm not trying to fight with you or anything. Just giving you an answer to your question is all.
I get it, and that at least makes a little sense. Appreciate your post.
Yes, they are fucking nerds.
I'm no lawyer, but it seems (to me) that incorporating actual footage into a different video would fall under the "fair use" protection. Similar to the various fan-created hype videos that stitch together game footage and dub an audio track over top.
Yeah, it's obvious that it's anything goes these days. I do wonder where the radio broadcast was coming from that they used to narrate the entire game.
Could you imagine if the YouTuber had the NCSU team injury likelihood set at 100. And then to believe its really happening. Or if they added 40 pounds on Stewart?
I mean, my Mom thinks stuff she says and does is going to magically appear on Facebook for all of the world to see, all because I posted many of my shenanigans during college on there. She definitely doesn't have an account.
Never seen anything like the game you referenced. Not a gamer. Used our players and theirs, but added scores and missed field goals and stuff like that. I wouldn't know a playstation from a bottle of zima.
I think you watched this...which isn't the real deal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UazyszZUjZk
I haven't seen a full game posted but here's the condensed version of the broadcast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCqE7tBneTU
Note: the quarters are only 8 minutes long.
The condensed version of the broadcast (the second one you linked) is accurate, but doesn't display the times and scores during the game, and posts the wrong final score at the end.
It's the version of the game I watched, and I had a mild panic at the end when the score didn't match what I had just witnessed.
Who's your edible hookup so I can get some?
I heard he goes by the nickname Salad
It was giving us the score for against Virginia at the end of the season.
First, reading this page has entertained me. Your experience is all of us trying to learn and keep up with technology. And if we haven't already been there in some capacity, we'll be there eventually.
Second, to improve your future YouTube search results, you should follow the ACC Digital Network: www.youtube.com/@ACCDigitalNetwork
The ACC DN will cut up each ACC game into a game highlight video (usually 7-10 mins), a condensed game (about 20 to 30 mins), a full game replay, and several player highlight videos. I'll note the upload of the full game replay is often delayed by 24-48 hours. The highlights and condensed game are usually up within an hour or two after the game ends (sometimes within 20 mins).
To find what you want to watch, you can either go to your subscriptions (and scroll through the videos uploaded on the ACC DN page) or just use the search within YouTube. By subscribing to ACC DN, your top results will more likely be the REAL game content. YouTube's search algorithm will promote videos from channels to which you're subscribed.
And to ensure it is the video you with REAL game content, look for the ACC DN logo on the bottom left of the video. Here is a screenshot example of the VT v. NCSU condensed game:
Good luck my friend! Go Hokies!
Thanks for the response. I definitely won't be fooled again, but nice to know how to get at what I wanted to get at. We weren't interested in highlights or condensed game, but a full game replay. Definitely learned a lesson and it has been kind of fun hearing from the community on the issue. Having never played one of the games so many of y'all have and do play, I didn't have a feel for such things, but it was a short term problem regardless of how baffling it was to me for a while.
So, since I have the same problem with CW as last week, I'll be looking for that replay again this weekend. Thanks for telling me how.
