ESPN is testing an AI-generated avatar with the Saturday college football show SEC Nation. Dubbed FACTS, it’s going to be “...promoting education and fun around sports analytics” with information drawn from ESPN Analytics. https://image.nostr.build/6852b29aef4eb872419d8a4785f73e0400c049131e28390f3188f849041c5daf.jpg https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/15/24297606/espn-generative-ai-avatar-facts
The avatar's primary goal is to foster a fun and educational environment around sports analytics, helping viewers understand the data behind the games they love. By presenting information in an engaging format, FACTS aims to attract a broader audience, including those who may not typically engage with sports statistics.
