College Athletes Are Using AI Assistants During Interviews

Honestly, it’s a huge improvement.

During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Fernando Mendoza, quarterback for the Indiana Hoosiers, recounted how head coach Curt Cignetti recruited him to Indiana. The story is so incredibly boring that there’s only one conclusion to be made: he prepared it using ChatGPT or Cluely (an AI meeting assistant).

Apart from the obvious signs that Mendoza is reading from a script (his eyes dart left to right, he makes no natural speaking gestures and avoids direct eye contact), the contents of his response are straight out of the “mind” of AI.

“I would say you really hit the nail on the head,” Mendoza begins. “Indiana and coach Cignetti really sold me on becoming the best Fernando Mendoza [pause] possible,” Mendoza, referring to himself in the third person, says, before listing all the “good, bad and ugly” reasons he chose the school.

It’s easy to ridicule people who use ChatGPT and AI assistants for being dumb; however, if there is one group of people we can give a pass, I think it’s athletes.

They need the help!
