ChatGPT predicts Auburn football's 2023 schedule
By Lance Dawe,
2023-06-08We have asked AI to predict Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains.
Most outlets out there have the Tigers going a modest 7-5 or 6-6 in 2023, not expecting the haul of transfer portal additions to help Auburn exceed past the six win threshold Bryan Harsin could not.
However, ChatGPT is a little higher on Auburn.
ChatGPT's knowledge of current events cuts off December of 2021, so getting it to make a prediction for a schedule happening in 2023 was a wee difficult.
Straight up, it did not want to.
So, I provided it detailed context around every team the Tigers are facing this season and it thankfully gave me a "hypothetical prediction" of each game.
It really wanted to emphasize the word hypothetical. It ended up doing a pretty good job of predicting the games and shared some final scores.
