The question was simple: How would ChatGPT do when asked to pick all-time starting lineups for every NFL team?
Here at Compare.bet, we inputted the question and the artificial intelligence chatbot gave us its response.
Here is a look at its 11 offensive and defensive starters for every team in the NFC (Note: ChatGPT4 was used, which is only trained on data available through 2021, making it harder for young stars to make the list). The AFC choices will follow in a subsequent article.
