ChatGPT says Auburn basketball's Jared Harper is one of the best point guards in CBB since 2000

AI and ChatGPT are two of the biggest global topics of conversation right now.

The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have captured public attention, as people marvel at the potential applications and implications of this technology. ChatGPT, in particular, has gained significant popularity as an advanced language model capable of generating human-like responses in real-time conversations.

As these conversations about AI and ChatGPT extend across various domains, even the realm of college football has not been left untouched. Football enthusiasts, students, and analysts are now exploring the potential use of AI, such as ChatGPT, in analyzing player performance, predicting game outcomes, and enhancing strategic decision-making. The integration of AI in college football discussions has sparked debates and opened up new avenues for innovation and advancement within the sport.

People are also using ChatGPT to generate sports content, asking it to give them lists and rankings of former players, programs, etc.

College Basketball Report (@CBKReport on Twitter) asked ChatGPT to rank the top 25 points guards in college basketball since 2000. Auburn's Jared Harper came in at No. 24.

Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl quote tweeted the graphic, proud that his former PG1 had made it on the list.

"Love seeing Jared Harper on this list! Pound for pound one of the best to wear an Auburn Uniform! Made History!" Pearl wrote.

When I asked ChatGPT about Harper, this is what the AI had to say:

"Jared Harper is a professional basketball player. He was born on September 14, 1997, in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Harper played college basketball for the Auburn Tigers at Auburn University from 2016 to 2019. As a point guard, he was known for his quickness, ball-handling skills, and ability to score from long range.

After his junior season at Auburn, Harper declared for the 2019 NBA Draft but went undrafted. He then signed a two-way contract with the Phoenix Suns, allowing him to split his playing time between the NBA and the Suns' G League affiliate, the Northern Arizona Suns. Harper made his NBA debut on January 19, 2020, and played in a total of three games for the Suns during the 2019-2020 season.

While primarily playing in the G League, Harper continued to showcase his skills and was recognized as an effective scorer and playmaker. Since then, he has had stints with various teams and has been involved in professional basketball both in the United States and overseas."

I asked ChatGPT if Harper is a good basketball player. It said it cannot give opinions as an AI language model, but "in his limited NBA appearances, Harper demonstrated his abilities as a scorer and playmaker, although his playing time was relatively limited due to being on a two-way contract. Ultimately, the assessment of whether Jared Harper is a good player would involve considering factors such as his statistical performance, impact on the court, consistency, and how he compares to other players in his position."

For fun, I also asked ChatGPT to write this article.
