If you look at official social media accounts for American pro sports teams (including my beloved Detroit Tigers, sadly), you're going to see an increasing use of generative AI to create visuals for posts, which is incredibly disappointing.

I knew a Dr. Bong in college, but he didn't dress like that.

Dude, that's halfway to a Batman villain origin! You could be the Kicker-Outer! (Sounds goofy, but still cooler than the Calculator.) (Except for Bronze Age Calculator jumping a car while riding a vintage 70s chopper, but to be fair, that's a high bar.)

Bronze Age Calculator jumping a car while riding a vintage 70s chopper. From Detective Comics #464, Oct 1976

Apparently the Giants' DC took our statements as a sign that he should deploy something that looks like the prevent defense -- which, as we know, prevents only one thing. Good thing his guys created and recovered that fumble.

The entire Eagles team looks like it does not enjoy playing football right now, and I'm here for it

Also disappointed to learn they're using gen AI "art" in promotional materials. I already bought tickets weeks ago, so I'm going anyway, but between that and the Leto factor, my expectations could not be lower. I'm pre-disappointed.

As a huge fan of Chinese kung fu/wuxia movies from Shaw Bros. to the ongoing (and awesome) "Creation of the Gods" movies, I couldn't name a single favorite if I tried.
