Why AI doesn't work for NFL mascots

[DapperCam]

The idea of a mechanical/robotic lion is sound. These AI tools are good for coming up with ideas, but you still need a human in the loop to create a good final product. For now…

Agree - like 1000x better than Billy Buffalo

 

First pre-season game pit this mascot against Billy in a cage death match at halftime.  Billy Buffalo must die

It reminds me of the one that they used in the benny the butcher music video.

The bulge on the Colts mascot would make any dude envious.

 

I mean horses do have massive d**** so I guess it is accurate at least.

Thanks for sharing. This gives me more confidence that AI won't take my job for a few months yet.

Falcons one looks alright. The Vikings one looks cool.

There are a few that are workable concepts/mascots. 

The Colts, colt is hung like a horse. Also the what is a poonat and why is it on the Panthers mascot?

I have to admit, the Fruit of the Loom briefs is a nice touch.

Based upon Sean Payton's picture from the 2023 coaches meeting, shouldn't the Broncos' mascot be the one that's generously endowed? 🤔

[JerseyBills]

Random thought but I'd be a mascot in a heartbeat! What a fun part time job that would be 

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

The Ravens, Rams and Bengals mascots look like they can be in the Wiz 2, you know it's coming.

[Chicharito]

The Patriots mascot looks like it has ear muffs on . Must be to drown out those annoying pats fans!

[Taro Nimbus]

The chiefs one definitely has Mahomes voice.  

[That's No Moon]

The Eagles one is great. So is Billy Buffalo 2. It's funny how good some of them are and how just oddly crap other are. The NBA ones too. I like the Suns one the Bucks came out well too. It seemed that the more odd your team name was the more the AI struggled with a concept. See also the Browns and the 49ers.

 

The eyes on all of then seem to have quite a lot of Gritty influence

Bills one is better than Billy Buffalo.

 

Can we have an alt mascot like we have an alt jersey?

as im sure many of you know, AI isn't intelligence of any kind but simply Statistics applied to lots of things.

 

what i like about this, or the drake AI song that got put on spotify, is how indistinguishable these things are from the corporate gobblygook that we are constantly force fed.  Literally mathematical proof that the execs, creatives, and corporate warriors in all of these places can be replaced with a common implementation of basic "AI" because they really are just parrots and empty cyphering brown nosers.

Strongly disagree! I was all for the live Buffalo but now I want this as our mascot. It’s like if Josh Allen’s bills logo came alive! Amazing!

I live and work on Los Angeles in the motion picture industry (currently shut down for the writer's strike), and there's a lot of concern for how AI is going to affect the industry, and how many jobs it's going to swallow up.

 

Someone had an AI program come up with a beer commercial, (link below). For context, this commercial is 100% AI produced-- no director, no writers, no editors, no actors, no locations, no camera, and no other guidance other than "make a beer commercial." It's horrifying. Even without any context at all it's horrifying. But the really scary thing is that this is the technology moving forward. As bad, and bizarre as this thing is, the tech only gets better from here, and it's not going away.

 

I may need to retire.
