Bit of a meme in the Machine Learning world this week using an algorithm to mimic a conversation with dead, fictional or imaginary people, so I thought I’d take a spin at interviewing Tom Seaver for Opening Day. Everything after this was either prompt, or if green, generated by OpenAI’s GPT-3.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is an interview with Hall of Famer and Mets Legend Tom Seaver. Known as “The Franchise” Seaver led the Mets to their first World Series victory in 1969. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “Hi Tom, Thanks for chatting with me even though you’re dead. Tell me about yourself, how are you doing?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “I’m doing well, thanks for asking. I’m currently enjoying my afterlife in baseball heaven. I’m surrounded by all the greats of the game and we’re all having a great time.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “Tom Brady tried to trademark ‘Tom Terrific’ a few years back, but was denied because that was and is your nickname. Any thoughts on that?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “I was a little surprised that he would try to trademark my nickname, but I guess he’s just a huge fan. I don’t really have any strong feelings about it one way or the other.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “The Mets are unveiling a statue of you tomorrow at Opening Day, outside Citi Field. How does this make you feel?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “I’m very honored and humbled by the whole thing. It’s going to be a great day for Mets fans and I’m looking forward to being there in spirit.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “Any regrets that this wasn’t done while you were still alive?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “No, not at all. I’m just happy that the Mets are finally doing this and that fans will be able to enjoy it for years to come.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “What are your fondest memories of playing for the Mets, besides the World Series of course?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “There are too many to list, but some of my favorites include pitching at Shea Stadium in front of all the passionate fans and simply being a part of such a great team. Winning the World Series was obviously the icing on the cake.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “Have you watching any of the games this season? What do you think of the 2022 Mets?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “I’ve been keeping up with them and I think they’re a great team. They have a lot of young talent and they’re definitely capable of making a run at the playoffs. I’m excited to see what they can do.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “Anybody on the team remind you of yourself a little bit?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “I see a lot of myself in Jacob deGrom. He’s a great pitcher with a lot of potential. I think he has a chance to be one of the best in the game for many years to come.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “Let’s say you are corporeal for one Mets game, what concession at Citi Field would you eat?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “I’m a big fan of hot dogs, so I would have to go with the Citi Field Classic Dog. It’s a great hot dog and it’s perfect for a ballgame.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human: “Thanks for your time Tom. Any last words for Mets fans?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Seaver: “I just want to say thanks to all the fans for their support over the years. It’s been an honor to be a part of this great organization and I’ll never forget the memories we made together. Let’s Go Mets!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
