Reading Time: 3 minutes

By Chen Ying (25A01C), Peh Zhi Ning (25A01B)

ChatGPT, Sora, Dall-E… Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sprung up from the pavement of human innovation and spread its leaves far and wide through the world. In businesses, in schools, in social media, AI has made its mark on every facet of our lives. However, whether it will prove to be a herb or a weed, we have yet to find out.

While there has been much discourse about the advantages and disadvantages of AI, there is no denying that the development and diffusion of AI will continue to make its way through every industry, and everyone’s lives. No doubt, AI is something that we will need to learn how to work with, or we will be lost in the tide of time.

On Thursday afternoon, 18th April 2024, the Water Polo Boys’ NSG Finals Match can conclude in one of only two ways.

The first? RI loses. Their fervent rivals, Hwa Chong, take back the crown that slipped from their grasp after HCI narrowly lost the finals 7-5 last year. The 13 players from RI will have 13 losses, 13 defeats and 13 servings of disappointment. It’ll be red, yellow and gold in the water once again.

(Rumour has it that the team made a pact to buzz their hair off should they win.)

The air is chlorinated and sterile. The atmosphere is quiet, like the venue is holding its breath. Swathes of supporters enter in green, black and white. It’s time to watch an NSG match.

The arriving spectators are enthusiastic, but not quite knowledgeable about the sport they’ll be watching; after all, water polo isn’t as ubiquitous as, say, soccer or badminton. Herein lies something unfamiliar, something exciting.

Here’s the thing: barely two years ago, the players in the water were just as clueless. To be specific, only three out of the nine current members on the girls’ Water Polo team had experience in the sport before joining the CCA in Y5.
