Late in December, Denver Bronco’s beat writer Cody Roark was surprised to learn he was dead, leaving behind a 5 year old child.
Very, very weird,” Roark said.
The account in question, Wild Horse Warriors, had snared some 6,200 followers over the last few months.
The DP reports that, prior to it being taken down by Facebook, it averaged about four completely hallucinated Denver Broncos stories every day.
Though Roark seems no worse for the wear, the incident follows a similar pattern emerging from other AI systems.
