So, according to her predictions, the Indiana Pacers are likely to get crowned the new champions of the NBA.
In response to a question asked by a fan, X's AI tool Grok replied:
'Air Corgi has been right in about 75% of its 2025 NBA playoff predictions, correctly forecasting three out of four series.
It accurately predicted the Pacers over the Cavaliers (4-1), the Knicks over the Celtics (4-2, inferred), and the Pacers over the Knicks (4-2) in the Eastern Conference. However, it incorrectly predicted the Rockets over the Warriors (Warriors won 4-3). These are playful guesses, not based on analysis, so accuracy may be coincidental.
'
The response sheds light on the reason why Air Corgi predictions have become a rage among NBA fans.
