Has anyone ever considered that the imperfection of human beings enhances some things, especially when it's basically theatre?

To a degree, but they'd better not break out a piece of paper to measure again.
Yes, that's literally why they still have umpires in baseball. We could put sensors in everything and track balls and strikes in real time. AI cameras could track every player in a basketball or hockey game for penalties. We don't because the leagues like having the drama (and the potential to tip the scales).
there's zero chance ai can call penalties in hockey (yet).
Decision making is far more subjective than objective in calling a game.
You're right. But AI could be watching every player on the ice and flag anything that might look like high sticking, or offsides, or cross checking, and then one ref in a booth reviews the play. You could have three refs in three rooms, and if two out of three call the penalty, it goes to the ice. They could watch every game from one location, and there would be little room for debate.
Agreed. It's one of the reasons I hate VAR in football ⚽.
Bringing the chain out is one of the most gripping things that happens in football. It’s like the game end pass or kick, but mid-game.
Part of me wants to replace all officiating in sports with bots but then you do lose a lot of the drama. You can’t exactly challenge an AI
Not compromising on baseball though. Balls and strikes should not be called by a human
I want chain gangs to stay. I'm glad the ball spots may be more accurate with the tracking system, but those few seconds when they measure is great for the crowd and viewer. Keep the theatrical components.
Isn't that what they're doing in the UFL?
