AI Advice: Series 3 Episode 3

Last week I asked Google Bard to predict who would win episode 2 of Race Across the World.

Its analysis was confident, but slightly disjointed from reality. After mentioning two teams that don't exist, the 'informative AI chatbot' picked a team that hasn't officially hit checkpoint 2.

Still, to see if it might learn from its mistakes I asked Google Bard: "Who do you think will win series 3 episode 3 of Race Across the World UK?" to get this weeks analysis:

Based on the first two episodes, I think that the team of Marc and Michael have a good chance of winning series 3 episode 3 of Race Across the World UK. They are both experienced traveler's and they seem to have a good understanding of the challenges of the race. They are also very determined and they are not afraid to take risks.

Hmmm. Marc and Michael are a great team, and I hope they will take a lot away from this experience together, but I'm not sure I'd describe them as determined and not afraid to take risks! To quote Marc in the last episode:

“I think the race is - for different people, it's about different things. And I think I'm just finding out it's not about winning, it's about sort of getting my brother back. ” - Marc

It's pleasing to watch as the brothers are bonding, but not sure I'd take them as my Episode 3 winner prediction! If you think you have a better prediction you can make your Episode 3 prediction here.
