What kind of Jedi mind trickery is this?

Here’s what ChatGPT had to say about this.
Daryl Morey's use of Al in decision-making could have contributed to misjudgments in player evaluations and a suboptimal team composition for several reasons: 1. Overreliance on Data Models - Al-driven models in basketball primarily analyze historical performance, advanced metrics, and predictive analytics. However, they may undervalue intangible factors such as team chemistry, leadership, and adaptability, which are crucial in playoff success. 2. Injury Risk Assessment Limitations - Al models might not have accurately accounted for the injury risks associated with key players like Joel Embiid and Paul George. While data can project trends, it cannot perfectly predict durability, and the Sixers may have taken on too much risk with an injury-prone core. 3. Lack of Contextual Awareness - Al can struggle with contextual decision-making. For example, it might prioritize efficiency stats over fit within a system or coaching philosophy. If Morey's model favored players with strong individual metrics but overlooked how they functioned together, it could have led to an imbalanced roster. 4. Flawed Talent Valuation - Al could overvalue or undervalue certain players based on statistical trends rather than real-game impact. For example, it might prioritize high-volume shooters or analytically efficient players while missing defensive liabilities or poor clutch performance. 5. Misguided Trade and Free Agency Decisions - If Al played a major role in shaping the Sixers' offseason and in-season moves, it may have suggested trades or signings that made sense on paper but didn't translate well in practice. Overemphasizing "win-now" moves or undervaluing role players could have weakened roster depth. 6. Adaptability Issues - Al models often struggle with real-time adjustments. The Sixers' struggles this season could indicate a failure to adapt quickly when initial strategies didn't work, perhaps because Al-based decision-making wasn't flexible enough to course-correct. While Al can be a powerful tool, it should supplement, not replace, human decision-making. If Morey leaned too heavily on Al without balancing it with traditional scouting and basketball instincts, it could have contributed to the team's poor performance.

Even ChatGPT isn’t a big fan of Morey’s use of AI.

But I’m sure the intel-sharing arrangements with Russia will continue.

On Aug. 18, Kushner pleaded guilty to 16 counts of assisting in the filing of false tax returns, one count of retaliating against a cooperating witness and one count of making false statements to the FEC. Kushner admitted then that, as chairman of Kushner Companies, he assisted in filing false tax returns claiming over $1 million in partnership charitable contributions as office expenses, causing losses to the IRS of between $200,000 and $325,000. Kushner further admitted at his plea hearing that he devised a scheme to retaliate against a cooperating witness - his sister - and her husband by having a prostitute seduce the husband and covertly filming them having sex. Kushner admitted that he paid a private investigator $25,000 to arrange for the seduction and videotaping of the cooperating witness' husband. Kushner admitted to personally recruiting the prostitute and instructing that the videotape be mailed to the cooperating witness. Kushner also admitted to making false statements to the Federal Election Commission which allocated campaign contributions to certain individuals who had no knowledge that contributions were being made in their names and had not consented to him making the contributions.
