Replacing this board with Yahoo! AI?!?

Yeah, the title is clickbait, but I thought this was kinda interesting.

Released for the NBA Draft, Yahoo Sports' "Ask Kevin O'Connor" feature lets people ask questions and receive AI-generated responses based on O'Connor's analysis and written voice.

The responses pull from his NBA Draft Guide, coverage and show along with player and team stats. O'Connor joined Yahoo Sports as NBA senior analyst in 2024 and has covered the league since 2013. Unrelated questions are redirected to Scout.
The feature is designed as a limited-time experience. Yahoo plans to keep it live for several days after the draft to help fans research drafted and undrafted players before sunsetting it by the end of June.

This is the future.

I give it up to ESPN. At least their articles are still written by humans. Yahoo, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, all AI slop now. I see so many AI generated mock drafts these days.

Welcome to the lazy, automate future.
