So I started a ChatGPT prompt a few days ago to see if it could compute a line on its own, based on an idea I had for next baseball season. It ends up quite far from my GAR-based model in most cases. I just asked it to compute tonight's games and it gave me this:

Here are estimated win probabilities and moneyline odds for tonight’s NHL games based on updated lineups, recent form, Elo ratings, and goaltending status:

  1. Flyers at Senators: Senators favored, 58% win probability (-138).
  2. Jets at Lightning: Lightning favored, 60% win probability (-150).
  3. Sharks at Rangers: Rangers favored, 79% win probability (-376).
  4. Devils at Panthers: Devils favored, 53% win probability (-113).
  5. Blues at Sabres: Sabres favored, 57% win probability (-133).
  6. Canadiens at Wild: Wild favored, 63% win probability (-170).
  7. Bruins at Stars: Stars favored, 56% win probability (-127).
  8. Predators at Oilers: Oilers favored, 61% win probability (-156).
  9. Islanders at Canucks: Canucks favored, 55% win probability (-122).
  10. Blackhawks at Kraken: Kraken favored, 68% win probability (-212)
Compare that to my GAR model:

Sens 64% (+6%)
Jets 55% (+15%)
Rangers 75% (-4%)
Panthers 58% (+11%)
Sabres 67% (+10%)
Stars 62% (+6%)
Wild 73% (+10%)
Oilers 63% (+2%)
Canucks 66% (+11%)
Kraken 60% (-8%)

If my plays were based on ChatGPT's lines I would've played these instead:

Flyers +145
Lightning -114
Devils +120
Canadiens +220
Bruins +145
Islanders +147
Kraken -160

I'm going to start tracking ChatGPT plays separately. I am not betting these; this is just another experiment that I'll drop as soon as it starts going bad. :spinner:
