Keating the Inspiration For ChatGPT?

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

"I had 20K to start the day. I thought I was going to make it to the Paris soccer game tonight," Alex Keating told his tablemates.

"Don't use the S-word here," Jonathan Bonnin replied.

"Football is such a stupid name for a sport. It's not called stick-puck or basket-net," Keating replied as he and Bonnin then debated using Celsius or Fahrenheit.

"What's the boiling point?" Bonnin asked him.

"212. What did you prove? You said nobody knows that, and I just answered you. You have no idea how smart am I. When they built ChatGPT, they used my brain. Go ahead, name a country," Keating replied.

"Nigeria," Mehdi Chaoui said.

"See, I've heard of it. That's how smart I am," Keating said.

Viet Vo then raised to 9,000 in early position, and Igor Pihela called in middle position. Keating three-bet to 38,000 in the hijack, and Vo quickly folded. Pihela also mucked A2, and Keating showed him 1010 as he took the pot.

"Ask me another trivia question," Keating said to Chaoui.

"I don't want to get pwned," Chaoui replied.
