Bing AI predicts the 2023 NBA Draft

Earlier today, we asked Bing AI to predict the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft. Here's how they did, compared to the actual results:

Pick/Team	AI Prediction	Actual Pick	AI Result
1 SAS	Victor Wembanyama	Victor Wembanyama	Correct
2 CHA	Brandon Miller	Brandon Miller	Correct
3 POR	Scoot Henderson	Scoot Henderson	Correct
4 HOU	Amen Thompson	Amen Thompson	Correct
5 DET	Jarace Walker	Ausar Thompson	3 picks early
6 ORL	Anthony Black	Anthony Black	Correct
7 IND	Taylor Hendricks	Bilal Coulibaly	2 picks early
8 WAS	Ausar Thompson	Jarace Walker	3 picks late
9 UTA	Bilal Coulibaly	Taylor Hendricks	2 picks late
10 DAL	Jaden Bradley	Cason Wallace	Not drafted
11 ORL	Jalen Duren	Jett Howard	Drafted in 2022
12 OKC	Keyonte George	Dereck Lively II	4 picks early
13 TOR	Chris Livingston	Gradey Dick	Second round
14 NOP	Mark Mitchell	Jordan Hawkins	Not drafted
15 ATL	Jett Howard	Kobe Bufkin	4 picks late
16 UTA	Ousmane Dieng	Keyonte George	Drafted in 2022
17 LAL	Caleb Houstan	Jalen Hood-Schifino	Drafted in 2022
18 MIA	Patrick Baldwin Jr.	Jaime Jaquez Jr.	Drafted in 2022
19 GSW	Kennedy Chandler	Brandin Podziemski	Drafted in 2022
20 HOU	Yannick Nzosa	Cam Whitmore	Drafted in 2022
21 BKN	Nikola Jovic	Noah Clowney	Drafted in 2022
22 BKN	Moussa Diabate	Dariq Whitehead	Drafted in 2022
23 POR	Michael Foster Jr.	Kris Murray	Undrafted in 2022
24 SAC	Dyson Daniels	Olivier-Maxence Prosper	Drafted in 2022
25 MEM	Jean Montero	Marcus Sasser	Undrafted in 2022
26 IND	Adem Bona	Ben Sheppard	Not drafted
27 CHA	Roko Prkacin	Nick Smith Jr.	Not drafted
28 UTA	JD Davison	Brice Sensabaugh	Drafted in 2022
29 IND	TyTy Washington	Julian Strawther	Drafted in 2022
30 LAC	Peyton Watson	Kobe Brown	Drafted in 2022

After a blazing hot start (and picking one player who would be selected at the end of the second round), the AI swerved completely off the rails, guessing 12 players that were drafted last year, two players who entered the NBA after going undrafted in 2022, and four other players who were, for one reason or another, not drafted in tonight's first round.

Eh, you can't win 'em all, right AI?
