I asked ChatGPT the following prompt.
Write about the 49ers 2023 NFL draft plans in the style of Matthew Greber
Here’s what it generated.
Folks, the 49ers are gearing up for the 2023 NFL draft, and let me tell you, it's going to be a doozy. The team has had its ups and downs in recent years, but with a talented roster and some key draft picks, they're poised to make a serious run at the Super Bowl.
Um, “Folks?” “doozy?” Do I sound like this?
So what's on the horizon for the 49ers in the 2023 draft? Well, for starters, they're going to be looking for some help on the defensive side of the ball. The team has some serious talent on offense, with players like George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk, but they need to shore up their defense if they want to compete with the best of the best.
The 49ers defense was easily a top-2 unit last season. They need to add to their defense as always, but this sounds as if it was a liability last season when it was anything but.
Look for the 49ers to target a top-tier pass rusher in the first round. They've got their eye on a few players who could really make an impact, and they're willing to trade up if necessary to get their guy. With Nick Bosa coming back from injury, the addition of another elite edge rusher could be just what the doctor ordered for this team.
The team does not have a first round pick. Nick Bosa is not coming back from injury - that was THREE years ago.
But it's not just the first round where the 49ers are going to make some noise. They've got several other picks in the draft, and they're going to be using them to bolster their roster in a big way. They're looking for depth at the cornerback position, as well as some help on the offensive line.
Hey! This is largely correct!
And don't be surprised if the 49ers take a chance on a quarterback in the later rounds of the draft. While Jimmy Garoppolo is the starter for now, the team knows that they need to have a plan in place for the future. They'll be looking for a player who can learn under Garoppolo and potentially take over when the time is right.
No, Jimmy isn’t the starter for the 49ers. He’s on the Las Vegas Raiders now. While the team MIGHT take a QB in the later rounds, they have three guys on the team right now they presumably feel comfortable with, save for injury issues.
So there you have it, folks. The 49ers are poised for a big year in the 2023 FL draft, and they're not afraid to make some bold moves to get the players they need. It's going to be an exciting time for 49ers fans, so buckle up and get ready for the ride.
Again with the ‘folks’ and now we have a ‘buckle up’…. this is deeply concerning.
In fairness, the word on the street is that GPT4 is much, much better at this. That’s concerning and interesting.
I use ChatGPT a lot. And I will absolutely lose a job because of it.
You were doing this for some fun, and IT IS fun, but it's actually telling and a good lesson around what ChatGPT is good for and what it isn't good for currently. IE, you can't just take its takes for gospel. Generally I find that if you are looking for current events-type takes, topics that are always shaping around the latest news, ChatGPT isn't strong. It simply isn't getting the news inputs to know the latest 'gossip' so to speak. However, if you are looking for it to help with macro information, larger strategies, and generally accurate historical information, it does a decent job to help a person jump into a project/work etc.
