I don't think people do actually consume it. In my experience this content was purely for SEO or maybe just a headline that people read quickly to keep up-to-date. The actual article content is rarely seen by a human.
isn't the point of seo to get in front of consumers?
So people will see content ESPN is actually paying meaningful amounts of money to create ie videos.
In defense of the AI - the fact that it was her last match has little relevance to the game itself. These are the emotional sprinkles, that AI often misses.(Which is to be expected from an emotionless AI)
It's a software bug, and there's plenty of resources available to the AI's owner to try and address it. It doesn't need a human advocating for it being OK.

You're missing the entire point. LLMs are super overhyped and this is the 9000th example of how garbage LLM generated "content" is. It doesn't matter that garbage was being generated before. If LLMs were only being sold as "it might be better than the spam generator you're using today" we wouldn't have the current bubble where people are losing their jobs because C-suite clowns believe the hype.
If they were overhyped people would not actually lose their jobs
This match was broadcast by ESPN on both ESPN2 and ESPN+. In that case, they are presumably paying two knowledgeable commentators to talk about the match before, during, and after it happens, adding context and describing the important events. Are they not providing a transcript of that to the writerbot? That seems like real low-hanging fruit, especially since the commentary is already live captioned.
I got nerd-snipped by this. I transcribed the match using the whisper-small.en and then asked ChatGPT to create a summary using a neutral prompt: Here is a transcript of a soccer match. In the style of an experienced professional sports reporter, please write a 200 word article about the match. Its summary starts, "In her final professional match, Alex Morgan delivered a performance filled with emotion and resilience…

that's a form of consumption

I see SEO as a make work project to support Wall Street valuations. We have SEO content being consumed by content indexing bots for traffic.
> I see SEO as a make work project to support Wall Street valuations. You're missing the whole middle part about users and revenue. SEO alone does not a Wall Street valuation make. Maybe the indictment here should instead be about discovery and how we share ideas and utility with one another.
I hate the AI match recaps of WTT (World Table Tennis) matches. The AI highlights cut off during a point, skip entire points or even sets. Not to mention they don't account for important events that happen between points, they might cut off exciting commentary/celebrations that happened after a point, and even the handshake at the end of the match.

OpenAI transcription & LLM is likely more costly than what they're willing to splurge on this. Care to link soccer.txt, so I can try with Llama 3 / 3.1?
