The Argentine team arrives at the 2024 Copa América with a lot to prove. She comes from winning the last edition of the tournament in 2021 and lifting the world title in 2022. A context that puts her as one of the favorites and artificial intelligence knows it, which is why we ask her predictions to find out if Lionel Messi’s team will repeat qualification.
We consulted ChatGPT and Gemini to know their analysis of the team’s performanceof the strengths and weaknesses and the probability that those led by Lionel Scaloni have of winning a new Copa América.
Argentina will be in charge of kicking off the tournament when it faces Canada at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on June 20, then they must complete the group stage against Chile and Peru. So let’s see what the AI has to say about how the team will do in this tournament.
The first thing to note is that both ChatGPT and Gemini see Argentina as one of the big favorites to win the tournament. First of all, Both highlight that he is the current champion, he has just won the Finalissima against Italy and is world champion. In addition to having a squad of experienced players and a well-formed team.
“With all these factors in mind, it is reasonable to be optimistic about Argentina’s chances at the 2024 Copa América. Their recent track record, the quality of their players and the leadership of the coaching staff suggest that they could perform well and potentially reach the final phases of the tournament, if not win the title again,” said ChatGPT.
An idea that Gemini also has, adding that “if they manage to maintain the level of play they have shown in recent years and do not suffer significant losses due to injuries, they could be one of the main candidates for the title.”
Taking this positive outlook into account, we asked the two chatbots the probability, from 1 to 10, that they consider Argentina to win the Copa América in the United States. The response of both AIs was 8, that is, a very high value. For ChatGPT, these are the values that support this prediction:
- Recent history (9/10)– Winning the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 World Cup shows that the team is in excellent shape and has experience in winning major tournaments.
- Squad and Key Players (8/10)– With stars like Lionel Messi and other talented players, Argentina has one of the strongest squads. However, the dependence on Messi and the performance of young players can vary.
- Coach and strategies (8/10): Lionel Scaloni has proven to be an effective strategist. His ability to adapt and play good games will be crucial.
- Competition (7/10): Teams like Brazil, Uruguay and others always present a challenge. Although Argentina is strong, the competition is tough.
- Preparation and conditions (8/10): Proper preparation and physical condition of the players will be important, and Argentina has shown to be effective in these aspects recently.
It is clear that the AI sees the Argentine team as one of the big favorites. For both Gemini and ChatGPT the greatest strength to have this label is Lionel Messi, both chatbots consider that the ’10’ is the most important weapon and the factor that makes the difference compared to rivals.
“His presence on the team is undoubtedly the strongest weapon. His ability to change the course of a game with his vision, passing accuracy, and goal scoring ability is second to none. Additionally, his experience and leadership are invaluable, especially in times of high pressure,” says ChatGPT.
Furthermore, Gemini highlights that the team has offensive variants and that “Argentina does not depend on a single player to score goals. They have several players who can provide danger in attack, which makes their team unpredictable and difficult to score.”.
However, Google’s AI considers the lack of defensive solidity to be the team’s biggest weakness, believing that “Argentina’s defense has not always been the most reliable, and has made some costly mistakes in important games.”
All these factors are what allow both AIs to give their final verdict: “Argentina has a very good chance of reaching the semifinals, at least.”
