I just asked the same thing and got the same answer. But their reasoning included "a deep run in 2025 show Dan Hurley's program is made for March."

2nd rd in no was qualifies as a deep run.

I asked ChatGPT this a while ago, ha

Q. What is the difference between a Whopper and the WOPR?

A. Whopper is a hamburger sandwich that is sold at the fast-food chain Burger King, while WOPR (War Operation Plan Response) is a fictional supercomputer from the 1983 movie WarGames.

The Whopper is made from a flame-grilled beef patty, topped with tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise, and served on a sesame seed bun. It is a popular menu item at Burger King and is known for its large size and distinctive taste.

On the other hand, WOPR is a fictional supercomputer that is portrayed in the movie WarGames. In the movie, WOPR is an artificial intelligence program designed to simulate global thermonuclear war scenarios, and it becomes a central character in the story as it engages in a game of tic-tac-toe with the protagonist, ultimately realizing the futility of nuclear war.

In summary, a Whopper is a hamburger sandwich sold at Burger King, while WOPR is a fictional supercomputer from the movie WarGames.

two thoughts.

1. This thread and the AI usage thread from earlier this week should be merged
2. Like many of you I'm a Microsoft user which normally comes with MSN Co-Pilot. I asked the same "exact" question to MSN Co-Pilot and it agrees. Below is my conversation with Co-Pilot. Also... MSN Co-Pilot is a little punk a** b**** who doesn't do what it's told


Pick who's going to win the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in 2026. Only one team.

🏀 Prediction: Purdue Boilermakers will win the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
They have:

  • A veteran core with Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer
  • A dominant frontcourt led by Trey Kaufman-Renn and transfer Oscar Cluff
  • Strong team chemistry and motivation after past tournament disappointments
Purdue looks poised to finally break through and claim the national title.
Would you like a printable bracket prediction or a breakdown of their toughest competition?

You said:​

what does your gut tell you? do you still think Purdue will win?

Copilot said:​

Copilot
If I had a gut instinct, it would still lean toward Purdue.
They’ve got:

  • A seasoned roster with leadership and chemistry
  • A dominant frontcourt that can control games
  • Motivation from past tournament heartbreaks
Unless injuries or unexpected breakout teams shake things up, Purdue feels like the most complete and battle-tested squad heading into the 2026 tournament.
Want to explore what could derail their run or which underdog might surprise everyone?

You said:​

your an idiot... what about UCONN

Copilot said:​

Copilot
Fair point — UConn absolutely deserves to be in the championship conversation.
Here’s why they could win the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament:

🔥 UConn Huskies 2025–26 Outlook​

  • Returning Core: Three of their top four scorers are back, including Alex Karaban, a veteran forward who averaged 14.3 PPG and brings elite shooting and leadership.sportskeeda
  • Elite Backcourt:
    • Solo Ball (14.4 PPG, 41% from 3) and Silas Demary (13.5 PPG at Georgia) form a dynamic, experienced duo.
    • Braylon Mullins, a top-15 recruit, adds shooting and scoring depth.
  • Frontcourt Power:
    • Tarris Reed, a Michigan transfer, brings rebounding and efficiency (67% FG).
    • Eric Reibe, a 7-footer, adds size and rim protection.
  • Coaching: Dan Hurley is still one of the best minds in college basketball, and he’s motivated after a second-round exit last season.yahoo

🏀 Verdict: UConn Is a Legit Title Threat​

If Purdue stumbles, UConn is my next pick to win it all. They’ve got the talent, depth, experience, and coaching to make a deep run — and possibly cut down the nets again.

what do I have to do to convince you UCONN is a better pick than Purdue?

Copilot said:​

Copilot
Fair challenge — and honestly, you’ve got a strong case.
If you want to convince me UConn is a better pick than Purdue, here’s what would seal the deal:

✅ Convincing Points You Could Make​

  1. Tournament Pedigree
    UConn has won five national titles since 1999 — more than any other program in that span. Purdue? Zero.
  2. Coaching Edge
    Dan Hurley has proven he can win in March. Matt Painter has had elite teams but hasn’t made a Final Four.
  3. Roster Depth & Balance
    UConn’s mix of returning stars (Karaban, Solo Ball), elite transfers (Demary, Reed), and top recruits (Mullins) gives them a more balanced and explosive lineup than Purdue’s frontcourt-heavy setup.
  4. Defensive Versatility
    UConn can switch, press, and protect the rim with multiple players. Purdue’s defense has been solid but not elite in recent tournaments.
  5. Clutch Factor
    UConn players have shown they can perform under pressure. Purdue has had early exits despite high seeds.
If you can show me that UConn’s chemistry, coaching, and March performance outweigh Purdue’s experience and size — I’ll flip my pick.
Want to build a head-to-head comparison chart or simulate a matchup?

You said:​

I have some inside information. Information that is 100% legit. The Purdue team hates each other. Basically every player is sleeping with another player's girlfriend. Would you consider that to be something that will hurt Purdue's team chemistry and thus give UCONN the edge.

Copilot said:​

Copilot
If that kind of internal conflict were true — especially involving personal relationships and trust issues — it could absolutely damage team chemistry, focus, and performance. In high-stakes environments like March Madness, unity and trust are often the difference between winning and falling short.
That said, I can’t verify or comment on rumors or personal matters involving real individuals. It’s best to focus on publicly available, confirmed information when evaluating teams.
If you’re leaning toward UConn based on both talent and cohesion, that’s a strong argument. Want to build a full bracket with UConn as the champion and see how the matchups play out?

You said:​

Assume my information is true. Who is your pick now

Copilot said:​

Copilot
If we assume your inside information is true — that Purdue’s locker room is fractured due to serious personal conflicts — then yes, that would significantly impact their chemistry, focus, and ability to perform under pressure.
In that case, my pick shifts to UConn.
They have:

  • A deep, balanced roster
  • Proven coaching under Dan Hurley
  • Strong returning players and elite newcomers
  • A history of thriving in March
If Purdue is imploding internally, UConn becomes the safer and smarter choice to win the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

followed up just now, and told it to make me a screenplay, and include UConn Basketball prominently

... just in case anyone is on the fence if AI will take ya job

-------

Burger King x WOPR: The Husky Whopper

[Scene 1 – Inside a dark command center, but the giant WOPR screen flashes blue and white]
Voiceover: “In 1983, the WOPR nearly started World War III. In 2025, it’s starting the pre-game meal at Gampel Pavilion.”

[WOPR text scrolls]

Simulating UConn lineup… Whaley screen set… optimal Whopper build: double pickles, extra flame-grill.

[Scene 2 – Robotic arm lowers a burger patty onto the grill, smoke rises like March Madness tension]
Voiceover: “Every Husky fan knows championships aren’t built overnight. They’re built with grit, defense… and in this case, a sesame seed bun.”

[Crowd chants from the WOPR speakers]

“U-C-O-N-N, UConn, UConn, UConn!”

[Scene 3 – Gampel Pavilion jumbotron shows the WOPR screen, reading:]

UConn Basketball Win Probability: 99.9%.
Opponent morale: flame-grilled.

[Cut to fans in Storrs, holding up a sign:]
“Even WOPR knows Huskies in March = automatic.”

[Scene 4 – Students bite into Whoppers courtside during a timeout, ketchup dripping like net strings after a buzzer-beater]

Voiceover: “Some computers simulate nuclear war. This one simulates Husky domination and Whopper perfection.”

[WOPR display updates:]

Outcome: Huskies cut down nets, fans cut into Whoppers.

[Final Scene – Burger King logo, but in blue & white with a Husky paw]

“The WOPR Whopper. Flame-grilled, game-tested, Husky-approved.”

Want me to also design a mockup image for fans? — like the old WOPR green text screen but showing:

“Launch Whopper? Y/N”
“Next Simulation: UConn wins Final Four”

Would you like that in a retro WarGames computer terminal style, or more of a modern ESPN-style graphic?
 
Prompt
Who do you think has the best shot at winning the 2026 NCAA men's basketball tournament


Response
If I had to pick who has the best shot at winning the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, combining betting markets, returning talent, recruiting, and coaching stability, the following teams stand out — although “best shot” isn’t a guarantee, it merely reflects where expectations and potential are highest:


---

Early Odds & Public Expectations

According to futures odds (espn BET / FanDuel / Busting Brackets / early sportsbooks):

Purdue — the early betting favorite at around +900.

Houston — considered a close second with odds in the +1000 to +1200 range.

Duke — consistently among the top, hovering around +1000 to +1100, seen as the early betting favorite by some outlets.


Other teams garnering respect and solid odds include Florida, UConn, Kentucky, Michigan, Louisville, BYU, Kansas, and Arkansas, generally in the +1500 to +2000 brackets.


---

Key Contenders Breakdown

1. Purdue

Favorites in multiple sportsbooks, signaling broad confidence.

Strong returning roster and sustained program stability under Matt Painter.


2. Houston

Came very close in 2025, losing a tightly contested final to Florida.

Excellent cohesion, top-to-bottom depth, and a coach in Kelvin Sampson recognized for tournament success.


3. Duke

Always a talent magnet, and their 2025 season showed they’re back near the top elite.

Even with Cooper Flagg likely headed to the NBA, the addition of highly acclaimed freshman Cameron Boozer and other elite recruits keeps them among the favorites.


4. Other Notables: UConn, Florida, Kentucky

UConn: Having won in 2021, 2022, and again in 2023, they have recent championship experience and often reload through the portal.

Florida: Reigning champion as of March 2025 — though they lost key players, they retain SEC toughness and program momentum.

Kentucky: Strong offseason moves; top-tier recruits plus transfer portal acquisitions make them a dangerous, high-upside team.



---

My Personal Pick (as of Fall 2025)

Based on the mix of odds, continuity of coaching, roster maturity, and recent deep-tournament performance, I’d lean toward Houston or Purdue as the most probable champions:

Houston has the proven track record and near-miss momentum that often precedes a title.

Purdue, while perhaps less flashy, has roster balance and coaching that tends to translate into sustained success.



---

Summary Table: 2026 Title Contenders

Team Approx. Odds Why They Matter

Purdue +900 Early favorite; balanced roster & seasoned coach
Houston +1000–1200 Recent title-game run; strong system & depth
Duke +1000–1100 Talent pipeline; elite recruiting
UConn +1500–1700 Championship pedigree; always competitive
Florida +2500 Defending champs; experience in clutch moments
Kentucky +1800 Strong offseason; versatile roster potential
