A lucky bettor earned a neat payday from the outcome of Thursday night’s Orange Bowl between Notre Dame and Penn State, thanks to AI-powered ChatGPT.
The Fighting Irish snatched a 27-24 win over the opposing Nittany Lions on the night, sealing the deal with a late field goal that put them ahead with just seconds left on the clock. The scoreline was correctly predicted by the popular chatbot, which didn’t just get the result right but suggested that turnovers would be a key factor.
There were indeed two important interceptions in the late stages, with both the Notre Dame and Penn State QBs throwing picks.
The former’s late INT would prove decisive as it would allow the Irish to move the ball toward the red zone and kick in the winning field goal.
A bettor risked $10 on the ChatGPT prediction and turned it into $1160 on odds of +11500, as shown in the image below. But we’re sure they’re now wishing they bet more.
