Man vs. Machine: Six AI’s Take on Stephen A. Smith’s March Madness 2025 AI Brackets

“Who would win in a fight?”, is always a fun thought exercise.

Tiger or Bear?

100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?

With March Madness here, and AI taking the world by storm, we thought it would be fun to pit man vs machine.

For this challenge, we asked 6 different AI tools who would win each of the games in the March Madness tournament.

To test their capability, we’re having them match up against their brackets against the one filled out by one of the leading sports analysts, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.

The participants in this competition include Précis AI (of course), Chat GPT, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity AI.

The test was purely for fun, and non-scientific, but the process of producing the results highlight some insights about AI prompting during the process.

By the end of the tournament, we hope to see who will win, man or machine.

Follow along as the tournament progresses to see which AI comes out on top, and whether any of them can beat the human expert.
