OpenAI taps Fernando Mendoza after ‘ChatGPT’ jokes

Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza entered into a partnership with OpenAI after “months of fans saying” that he “talks like he’s ChatGPT.” Mendoza released an ad spot on Friday for ChatGPT on his LinkedIn, showing how the chatbot “helps him organize his day as he moves into a home in Las Vegas.” The tasks included “checking on his sleep pattern, monitoring his nonprofit the Mendoza Family Fund’s progress toward its donation goal, and setting a time for a call with his family by having ChatGPT write the text that would be sent in the family chat.” Mendoza is known for “speaking in a very calculated manner during interviews, which is what spurred the ChatGPT jokes” (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 10/2).
