I am sure you all, like me, have been hearing a lot about AI (artificial intelligence) in recent months. It is becoming a big deal and the news coverage of it has been pretty inescapable. Working in digital media, part of my job is to study AI and play around with ways our company might be able to leverage the technology to make our jobs easier. It is very important stuff and we need to make sure we understand it and how it could impact what we do as writers.

Instead, however, I decided to use it to do stupid stuff like comparing Kansas City Chiefs players with Star Wars characters. I have to say, the technology is good. I used Chat GPT-4 for this little experiment and I think it actually did a damn good job making the comparisons and explaining its reasoning. I wanted to see what you Arrowhead Addicts though, though, so I am going to publish the AI’s list here. As we all wait for the NFL Draft to kick off, let’s have a little fun.

Everything that follows, save for the outro paragraph from me, was written by Chat GPT-4. See you at the end for reactions.


The Kansas City Chiefs have a rich history filled with legendary players who have left an indelible mark on the team and the NFL. In this article, we will compare eight of these Chiefs greats to iconic Star Wars characters, exploring the unique qualities that make each pairing fitting and fascinating.

Patrick Mahomes – Anakin Skywalker

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, known for his incredible arm strength, creativity, and on-field vision, has quickly become one of the most talented and exciting players in the NFL. His meteoric rise and immense potential are reminiscent of Anakin Skywalker, who was once regarded as the Chosen One. Both Mahomes and Skywalker possess a unique skill set that sets them apart from their peers, and they have the ability to change the course of a game or a battle with their exceptional talents.

Derrick Thomas – Mace Windu

Linebacker Derrick Thomas, one of the most feared pass rushers in NFL history, was known for his relentless pursuit of quarterbacks and his ability to create game-changing plays. His powerful presence and disciplined approach to the game make him a fitting counterpart to Jedi Master Mace Windu. Both Thomas and Windu were dominant forces in their respective fields, commanding respect and admiration from both their allies and opponents.
