I’ve been aware of the rise of artificial intelligence, or AI for short, but until I heard a brief story from a tech guru on a television segment that my ears perked up. They were talking about technology called ChatGPT that is able to spit out 500 written words on any subject in a few seconds. Naturally, I immediately began wondering if it could write a small-town newspaper column. Could I put this technology to work for me and land numerous other column gigs across the g...

PORTALES – Eastern New Mexico University's women have struggled shooting the ball much of the season, and those problems continued on Thursday night – in three of the four quarters.

Junior guard Ashley Shipley scored a s...

ENMU (11-6, 6-5 LSC), which snapped a three-game slide, went 0...
