Unless you’re living under a rock, in 2024, you’ll appreciate just how prevalent AI is in the modern world. With a lot of the world’s knowledge at its disposal, it can do many things – especially when it comes to text-based services. So… how good is it? For example, could it link seemingly unrelated random concepts together? Let’s see how it gets on with trying to form a case for finding synergies between Gambling Anime and the city of Tampa, Florida.
Kakegurui Setting is Similar to Tampa
The AI makes an interesting point that Tampa as a locality is similar to Hyakkaou Private Academy’s setting. While Florida is a beachy coast, and this educational facility is rumored to be set in the snowy north of Japan (Hokkaido – but the actual location of Hyakkaou is unconfirmed), many overlapping attributes exist. The competitive gambles who fill Ybor City are just as enthralled and enchanted by gambling as the characters in the anime. Sure, it seems a bit tenuous, but the AI has at least tried.
The author prompted the AI to give more concrete ideas on this concept. Surprisingly, it suggested that the Hyakkaou Private Academy could be likened to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel. Both massive gambling complexes attract the wealthy and powerful with luxurious settings.
The Nefarious Types
Another concept that the AI suggests is similar to the two ideas: the underground world and hustler characters from The Great Pretender, which are identical to those who formed Ybor City’s gambling world. In case you didn’t know, this area was notorious for illicit gambling rigs and illegal games, where underground rules were observed, and cigar smoke filled the tables. Of course, in The Great Pretender, plenty of scenes could easily fit into this description.
Work to Be Done: Wrestling and Mind Games
Okay, suppose the above two entries were tenuous and forced. In that case, this one will surely take first prize for that award. The AI states that in the series Akagi, the primary characters play mind games on one another to complete illustrious bets, alongside Yakuza involvement. This has been likened to…the WWE. The wrestling company has its training facility in Tampa, Florida. The AI suggests that various mind games are taught to the performers so they can excel in the squared circle.
Yeah, there are many psychological elements to professional wrestling, but this one seems difficult to grasp when trying to form proper likenesses with gambling anime.
Daring Plays by Usogui and the Tampa Sports Franchises
Suppose you’re not familiar with Usogui as a series. In that case, it’s a series where various characters must indulge in high-stakes bets, seeing the narrative twists and turns in numerous directions. This isn’t similar to the approach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the local NFL franchise, took. Their take on American Football is to go hell for leather with their player acquisition strategy. Signing up Tom Brady at the end of his New England Patriots career could have backfired, as could recruiting his replacement, Baker Mayfield.
After Some Subtle Prompting…
By this point, the AI’s ideas were so thin on credibility that it wasn’t worth documenting them. The author then gave the AI subtle prompts to include famous people born in or who had an active part in Tampa…
Sam Allardyce, the storied football manager in charge of numerous teams, is likened to the main character of One Outs – the baseball betting anime. Tokuchi Toua uses his tactical prowess and risk management to succeed in gambling – something Allardyce has done throughout his defensive-led career. But how does Allardyce represent Tampa? Well, he played 11 games for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in 1983.
So, How Well Did the AI Do?
Well, this is subjective. It has undoubtedly tried, scraping the barrel for links between the two elements, and produced something. The AI has done what is asked of it by providing ideas that link Gambling Anime and Tampa, Florida. While a lot of them are very abstract and connect generic themes, if it can do this – it could surely do a better job of themes that are more closely linked, i.e., asking the AI to provide synergies between the games of pool and snooker, it would be able to make a comprehensive list of attributes that connect the two games.
If you want to use AI to create text, be sure to give it a realistic prompt and check it—as it could make mistakes!
