“Is God dead?” –a question asked in 1966

A few coincidences of the late 1960’s/early 1970’s involving sports and television

  • The first seven years of the Super Bowl
  • Hollywood’s future king working in television
  • Pete Maravich lighting up the record books for men’s college basketball
  • John Wooden’s UCLA men’s basketball team winning 7 consecutive NCAA tournament championships

(There are many other coincidences outside of sports and television from the late 1960’s/early 1970’s.)

The World Of Sports And Television

With the first Super Bowl in January of 1967, it’s no lie that the earliest years of The Super Bowl were in the late 1960’s/early 1970’s.  Or to be more specific, it can truly be said that the first seven years of The Super Bowl were in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. 

And looking beyond that time frame, of the top 28 “All-Time Most Watched Television Programs” according to the 2024 World Almanac, 26 of those programs were Super Bowl games.  And so there’s significance to include the earliest years of an annual sporting event that would dominate both the world of sports and television.

SFSU…site of the 2nd most important news story since 9/11.

To best understand what really happened during this news story, you’re going to need an unedited and raw audio recording along with the video footage.   Good luck trying to find that!  I’m pretty sure that’s been buried in the deepest parts of the Pacific.

Can A.I. Be Trusted?

DISHONESTY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

On December 27, 2025, I asked AI a couple of questions:

  • Does A.I. give different answers to the exact same question but from different people?
  • If A.I. gives different answers to the exact same question but from different people, then can A.I. be trusted?

The answers I got were quite interesting…

My first question:  Does A.I. give different answers to the exact same question but from different people?

A.I.’s response:  Yes, AI often gives different answers to the same question, even from different people or the same person at different times, due to built-in randomness (stochasticity), busy server loads, different model versions, varying contexts, and unique prompts, making each response a fresh generation rather than a database retrieval. This variability stems from AI’s probabilistic nature, aiming for creative, human-like output, but can be controlled with settings like “temperature” for more consistent results

 

My second question:  If A.I. gives different answers to the exact same question but from different people, then can A.I. be trusted?

A.I.’s response:  No, an AI’s differing answers to the same question mean you can’t fully trust it without verification, as variations stem from its probabilistic nature, system load, and training data, making it a creative tool needing critical cross-checking with reliable sources, not an infallible oracle. Treat it as a starting point, not the final word, by asking multiple times, checking facts, and being skeptical of confident-sounding answers, especially for crucial information, because it generates patterns, not absolute truths.
