K'Andre Miller facing an immense amount of backlash over farewell message to the New York Rangers
K'Andre Miller was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes during the postseason as part of the retooling of the New York Rangers. In return, they'd receive Scott Morrow and two draft picks. What did fans get? In K'Andre Miller's final message, it'd be an AI-driven canned response given to the Rangers faithful, and fans are pissed.
The New York Rangers fans are angry after they've not only seen former 1st-round pick K'Andre Miller traded after a disappointing 2024-25 season, but they received a "heartfelt message".
Except the message was AI-created slop, which has been plaguing humanity, as it delivers subpar fact-checking (thanks, ChatGPT), and mediocre music, movies, and pictures.
But for the people who love to remove the "human" from the element, it's hard to believe that this is what Miller would do after spending the majority of his career in New York. Why would his agent sign off on this?
I guess with $60 million reasons to do so, it's hard to hear over all of that.
AI is a plague and has driven the social contract into oblivion as people don't "pen heartfelt messages", they type into ChatGPT or Claude to generate a hollow statement. If Miller did this, it's shameful.
Not only does K'Andre Miller have enough time to sit and craft his own message without utilizing AI, but this base laziness will harm trust with fans, and ultimately the hockey world.
As AI becomes normalized, a horrific notion we will see more and more players and agents (maybe not Allan Walsh) craft these subpar letters.
See ya, Key.
Miller leaves the Rangers for a $60 million contract with the Hurricanes after posting 27 points (7-20) in 2024-25.
