Will AI Replace Teaching Pros?

Not very soon, I'm guessing from this response by ChatGPT on how to hit a kick serve <g>.

If you're not following high-tech, the hot new thing for the giant tech corps is AI-based chat: Microsoft, Google, Facebook all dumping in Billion$. In fairness, it's less about the accuracy of the answers at this point, than the ability to mimic human language & interact in that fashion to compile information from vast amounts of data.

So far, ChatGPT has passed bar exams, written term papers, written poetry .... but tennis lessons, not so much <g>

So, if you want to swing high-to-low and hit backspin on your Kick serve ....

A couple of quotes about AI from the late Stephen Hawking. Interesting when you consider the first quote; a cure for cancer could very rapidly be found.

The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.

It will either be the best thing that's ever happened to us, or it will be the worst thing. If we're not careful, it very well may be the last thing.

Not sure what AI would mean for tennis other than gathering intelligence on weaknesses and shot thresholds, etc.

Too late. The genie is out of the bottle.

A faux-rumor from Indian Wells: Hawkeye didn't have technical difficulties, it went on strike for better servers to run on. <g>.

"The real impact on Humans by Artificial Intelligence. I made up a word...virtual morality. You've heard of virtual reality. Virtual morality occurs when "God is Dead" and the computer becomes the deity. It's happening. This is what all of this modern thinking is about...virtual morality. Rewriting human values and existence with the cold, clinical morality of a hard drive."

After removing God from the equation of human morality...well just kiss your ass goodbye. And you guys are talking about AI replacing tennis pros. THINK...big picture!!!
