We Asked ChatGPT About The 2025 Rams Offense
The rise of artificial intelligence raises a fascinating question for sports journalism: What is the potential of AI in shaping the future of content about the Los Angeles Rams? It seems inevitable that at some point, content creation might shift from human writers to logic-driven learning algorithms. But can today's AI truly develop sound logic to assess a team's future chances?
Setting Up the AI Experiment
Prompted by a fellow writer, I decided to put this to the test. I challenged ChatGPT to predict how the Rams' offense would perform in 2025. To get a specific answer, I provided the AI with a clear, hypothetical scenario through a series of prompts:
- How well will the Los Angeles Rams' offense perform in 2025?
- Matthew Stafford will still be the quarterback. Cooper Kupp is no longer with the Rams.
- The Rams will go with wide receivers Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, and Davante Adams. The team has added rookie WR Konata Mumpfield, rookie TE Terrance Ferguson, and rookie RB Jarquez Hunter.
With the stage set, I was eager to see what the AI would generate.
ChatGPT's Verdict on the 2025 Rams
The output was quite expansive, touching on the wide receivers, the new rookies, the team's overall offensive identity, and a final assessment. The core of its conclusion was optimistic:
"Overall, if the rookies step up and the offensive line can provide decent protection, the Rams could have a top-10 offense in 2025, capable of competing in the NFC West and beyond. The combination of Stafford's leadership, Adams' elite skills, and a developing supporting cast gives the Rams a lot of potential."

Human vs Machine The Final Analysis
Did this experiment provide any groundbreaking insights or controversial takes on the Rams' 2025 offense? The answer is a definitive no. The information provided felt more like a summary from Reader's Digest than a cutting-edge analysis from Skynet.
This settles my concerns for now. While ChatGPT is a powerful tool, it hasn't reached the level of performance required for deep, insightful sports analysis. To get anything truly useful from the dialogue, the user must already possess a strong working knowledge of the team. So, for those who have suggested that sports articles are being clipped and pasted from AI, I can happily say that's not the case here. It seems human expertise in sports journalism remains undefeated.
