We would like to take the opportunity to clarify something regarding the content produced and published by Barry Town United AFC.
As a club, we do not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create our graphics, match programmes, programme articles, social media content or articles published across our platforms.
The content you see from Barry Town United is created by our fantastic, dedicated media team, who give up countless hours to ensure our supporters receive the highest possible standard of content both online and in print.
Our media team consists of:
📱 Alfie – Social Media Officer
📖 Jason – Programme Editor
✍ Ian & Jeff – Programme Article Writers
📸 Perry & Rhi – Club Photographers
Ashley – Club History & ‘On this Day’ Content
📱 Tierre – Social Media Officer
Every member of this team puts significant time, effort and creativity into their work. From preparing matchday graphics and social media posts to writing programme articles, editing content, taking photographs and ensuring our supporters are kept informed, their contribution to the club is hugely valued.
We therefore want to make it absolutely clear that their work should not be diminished or undermined by an automated label suggesting that content has been created using AI when it has not.
If content from Barry Town United is labelled “AI Content” by a social media platform, this does not mean that AI was used to create that content. Such labels are often generated automatically by the platform, and as we all know, AI and automated systems can make mistakes.
It is particularly frustrating when an automated label can potentially cast doubt over work that has taken someone hours to create. Behind every graphic, article, photograph and programme is a real person who has invested their time, skill and effort into producing it for the club and our supporters.
We are incredibly proud of our media team and the work they produce. They are the people behind our content, not AI.
We will continue to support and value the fantastic work they do and, as a club, we will not allow the time, creativity and commitment they put into representing Barry Town United AFC to be diminished by an inaccurate automated label.
Thank you to Alfie, Jason, Ian, Jeff, Perry and Rhi and everyone who has contributed to the growth of our social media and content over the years, for everything you do for the club.
