This is when I'm glad to be over the hill.
I'm already over the hill.

As an aside about AI, I put a query into Chat GPT about College Football awhile back.  I simply asked it to name all the Div 1 teams that A&M has played but never beat.  I kinda sorta knew a few of them, but it spit out an assortment of teams it claimed we never beat, that I knew with 100% certainty we beat.  I even prodded it along, asking it to check out such and such season.  

To me, the task seemed very simple.  Look at all the teams that we've played over the years, that are Div 1, and figure out which ones we've never beaten.  I'm sure that most of us fans know that there are quirks in the system like UT and Vanderbilt where Vandy had some lopsided record vs UT, but I don't think many of us track which teams we've never beaten.  I also asked for a list of teams we've never played.  It struggled mightily.  I basically had to ask it to look at certain seasons, the first such and such game, what was the result.  The whole time it kept confidently telling me about some outcome I know that wasn't true.  When I called it out, it would kinda sorta do a 180 but never fully acknowledge that essentially it's full of shit.

It’s weird because some of the stuff that it doesn’t do is just so basic. Like I was trying to get it to pull some data from a website. And it could do it, but when I needed 25 entries, it would only get five and then it would stall.

Will be interesting to see how the use cases evolve.

For those interested, the teams A&M has never beaten (but played) are Ohio State, Florida State, and Penn State.  There is an odd-ball in there like Cincinnati, that we maybe played once or twice over 100 years, but Chat GPT could not tell me much.  I think the list of teams we haven't even played is like Wash State or something.  I really don't even remember.  

FYI, Grok nailed both questions on the first try.  I will say that I didn't research it enough to know with 100% accuracy but some quick research yielded the same results.

I asked Chat GPT to tell me about it's blind spots and weaknesses, and one of those is that it can't "see" live internet.  So if you tune in during a football game or something, it really doesn't know about it until later.  It has to be trained, and the training data is not live.  For example, I was "chatting" about CFP and it told me bummer about A&M not making it etc.  


Grok appears to be live in that regard.

I think Nebraska and Penn St. are two teams we've played but never beaten.  That may not be exhaustive, though.  FSU might be in there.  Not sure who else.

I think I may have misremembered Penn State. We may have won one in the 70’s or 80’s. 

But OSU and FSU are for sure.

I think we're 1-1-1 against Ohio State.  I want to say we're 0-2 or 0-3 against Penn St.  I'd have to look it up, but it's something like that. 

EDIT: out of curiosity I looked it up.  It's 0-2 vs. PSU and 2-9 against FSU.  I couldn't remember if we'd ever beaten them or not, but apparently we did in 1968 and 1982.
