AI once again strikes, and shows that it might not be as ready as we think. @GeorgeONTap asked Google AI, Bard, who the top 10 Seattle Mariners players of all-time are. Somehow, Ichiro Suzuki, who is clearly top 5-7, was left off the list…
Ichiro might be the most under appreciated athlete in Seattle sports history

Despite AI disrespecting Ichiro… You can see players, like Shoehei Ohtani, who might be the best player ever, loves Ichiro, as a pioneer to Japanese players in the MLB.
This Ichiro and Ohtani interaction.
Look at the bow and respect by Ohtani.
Hope Ichiro is recruiting him to the Seattle Mariners
