Season is far from over. We have yet to play any of the other top 3 teams. Time to evaluate the season is when it is over. I would say Coach Steele is on the right path to get that extension, just think there is a lot of basketball to be played yet.

Iâm fairly certain the 1983-84 team didnât lose a MAC game until very late in conference play. They definitely started 5-0.

As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, Miami Universityâs menâs basketball team has not started a conference season with a 5-0 record in recent history. Their historical performance in conference play has varied, but a 5-0 start to the conference season would be a notable achievement.
However, this information could have changed since my last update, so I recommend checking the most current seasonâs records or official athletic department websites for the latest details on Miami Universityâs menâs basketball team.
Maybe I asked it wrong.
I donât think AI is very good with sports facts. I have tested it with some dead-ball era baseball facts before and it was often wrong
To further test this I asked: âHow many times has miami university won the mid-american conference in footballâ
The response: "As of 2024, Miami University (located in Oxford, Ohio) has won the Mid-American Conference (MAC) football championship 16 times. Their most recent title was in 2003. These championships span several decades, with Miami being one of the most successful programs in MAC history.
Would you like more details on any specific years or accomplishments?"
I then pressed it on the 2019 and 2023 MAC championship where it told me we lost to CMU and Toledo respectively and only when I corrected it did it tell me an actual summary of those games, except saying Gabbert was the QB in the 2023 game, which I told them that was wrong and it responded saying Jaylen Hall (?) was the QB, and then after one more correction it told me Aveon Smith was the QB

The issue is that LLMs donât actually know facts, they just knows how to chain a response together in a way that seems like a natural human response. Trying to use them.to do research on specific facts isnât a good use case, since they has no way of approaching the problem to figure out what the correct response is, unless it happens to be in their training data.

There was a while back in 2017 or so (one year where OSU lost to Clemson in the CFP) where you could ask Googleâs then-baby AI âwhen was Michael Jordanâs last game?â and it would reply with the score of that OSU-Clemson game. Because OSU had a guy named Michael Jordan.

âBack in my day thatâs what it looked likeâ.
This.
Iâll always remember when Jaylen Hall led us to victory, despite being a WKU WR who had already run out of eligibility at that point.

The first Ai that I recall using came out in the early 2000âs from Microsoft and they incorporated it into their Word offering. A total fail. His name was âClippyâ and he was a useless pain in the ass who single handedly tried to ruin many of my documents. Iâd write the word âyetâ and in would come Clippy big googly eyes a poppinâ to save the day. Did you mean âYetiâ heâd ask? And Iâd think âWhy yes Clippy, you magnificent bastardâŚI had totally forgotten to include mentioning The Abominable Snowman/Yeti/Sasquatch/Big Foot in my research on Ming Dynasty trade routes. Thanks for your help!â Useless. But, there was an extremely funny use of Clippy whereby someone called up a phone sex worker and asked to pretend they were Clippy for the John. Comedy gold I say. Iâll see if I can find itâŚ
Edit: canât find the prank call, but if you have no idea what Iâm talking about, this will help.
