Football According to AI
According to ChatGPT, one of the most used, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia have the best chances of winning the title.
To reach this conclusion, AI takes into account the teams' results in recent editions of the tournament and their matches in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. For the Concacaf teams, it considered the results from the Gold Cup and the Nations League.
Advancing to the Quarterfinals, According to ChatGPT
For ChatGPT, the group stage of the 2024 Copa América will see Argentina, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, the United States, Colombia, and Brazil advance to the quarterfinals.
But AI went further and even predicted the semifinalists and the tournament winner.
The Semifinalists According to AI
Argentina, with Lionel Messi at the helm, will eliminate Mexico in the quarterfinals. Ecuador will do the same to Canada, Brazil will defeat Uruguay, and Colombia will knock out the United States.
The semifinalists, according to AI, will be Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, and Brazil. And the final will be Argentina-Brazil, a rematch of the 2021 final.
"Both teams have a rich history in the Copa América and international competitions in general. On a good day, Brazil is capable of anything," are the arguments of the AI.
The Winner According to AI
La Albiceleste has an advantage over La Canarinha, according to AI, because it has Lionel Messi and is the current champion of the tournament.
"Given the level of talent and recent history, my prediction would be a narrow victory for Argentina. The possible presence of players like Messi could give Argentina the necessary emotional and technical edge," is the AI's response.
However, ChatGPT warns: "This prediction represents a challenge due to the unpredictability of football."
