The machine made logical picks. I made emotional ones. Guess which worked better.
Can artificial intelligence actually predict hockey games?
Like, really predict them — not just pull random stats or repeat what everyone already knows.
I wanted to find out.
So, I challenged ChatGPT to predict NHL games and goal scorers. Then I made my own predictions. The deal was simple: we’d compare our results and see who’s the real expert — the machine or the fan.
If you ever thought, “Maybe I could use AI to guess winners, goal scorers, maybe even make a bit of money from it,” — well, it’s not that simple. Because hockey, unlike logic, doesn’t always make sense.
Testing the AI
The idea started as a fun experiment: could ChatGPT predict NHL games if given the latest rosters, injuries, and form?
