I took a digital content creation class last semester and learned how to use AI a bit more effectively and efficiently while avoiding bias. The best way to use AI in a better prompting format is to be specific while using connections so the machine understands it better. For example, in our readings, it is frequently mentioned how bias impacts results. On the internet, there are many biased cites and sources full of news that is inaccurate, and AI platforms gain information from these biased cites. This means that nearly every form of information a user finds could be inaccurate, which is why it’s very important to be proper when wording questions and statements to the machine.

After working in groups we used Ai Gemini, a more enhanced version of AI that is most similar to generate greater portions of information distributed. The people in my group were from Ohio, so we decided to ask about the brown’s history as a football franchise. We found that AI also had bias in the information it provided to us. For example, it said that the browns had the most championships, when they did not because the NFL was formed after their main franchise was established. During these findings we discovered that this AI platform was getting information from bleacher report which is often very reliable and made it more confusing. I later looked at the source, and it had correct factual information, it was just incorrect with how Gemini portrayed it.

This is proof that AI frequently hallucinates, and it isn’t completely accurate all the time. We discussed this in class on Tuesday with our readings on how AI hallucinates and why it does it. This can come from things like bias, misinformation, and inaccurate data. It is important that we noted how AI is bad with numbers as well, this being a prime example of it.

What Gemini Said:

The history of the Cleveland Browns is a unique saga in American sports, defined by early absolute dominance, a heartbreaking mid-1990s relocation, and a modern era of rebuilding.

Founding and Early Dominance (1946–1962)

The franchise was founded in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). The team was named after its first head coach, Paul Brown, a revolutionary figure who introduced many modern football staples, such as film study, the practice squad, and the draw play.

• AAFC Dynasty: The Browns won the league championship in all four years of the AAFC’s existence (1946–1949).
• NFL Transition: When the team joined the NFL in 1950, they immediately silenced skeptics by winning the NFL Championship in their first season. Led by quarterback Otto Graham, they reached the title game every year from 1950 to 1955, winning three of them.
• Integration: In 1946, Paul Brown helped break the professional football color barrier by signing Bill Willis and Marion Motley, a year before Jackie Robinson’s MLB debut.

The Jim Brown Era and Last Title (1957–1995)

After Otto Graham retired, the Browns drafted fullback Jim Brown in 1957, who is widely considered one of the greatest players in NFL history.

• 1964 Championship: Under coach Blanton Collier, the Browns defeated the Baltimore Colts 27-0 to win the 1964 NFL Championship. This remains the franchise’s last league title.
• The “Kardiac Kids” & Bernie Kosar: The team saw a resurgence in the late 1970s and 80s. Quarterback Brian Sipe led the “Kardiac Kids” to thrilling last-minute wins, and later, Bernie Kosar led the team to three AFC Championship games in the late 80s—all of which ended in painful losses (including “The Drive” and “The Fumble”).

Relocation and the “Deactivation” (1995–1999)

In a move that shocked the sports world, owner Art Modell announced in 1995 that he was moving the team to Baltimore.

• The Settlement: Following intense legal battles and fan protests, a unique agreement was reached: Modell would move his personnel to Baltimore to form a “new” team (the Baltimore Ravens), but the Browns’ name, colors, and 50-year history would remain in Cleveland.
• Hiatus: The franchise was officially “deactivated” for three seasons while a new stadium was built on the site of the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

The Expansion Era (1999–Present)

The Browns returned to the field in 1999 as an expansion team under owner Al Lerner.

• Modern Struggles: Since their return, the team has struggled to find consistent success, famously enduring a 0–16 season in 2017.
• Recent Years: The franchise has shown signs of a turnaround, reaching the playoffs in 2020 and 2023. The team is currently owned by Jimmy and Dee Haslam.
