Thought I'd give Microsoft's new Artificial Intelligence Chat System a chance to answer a question that has been discussed at some length on USC websites recently.
Specifically, will the Big Ten scheduling wizards give USC a tough, middling, or soft in-conference slate in 2024?
Some Trojan fans think it will likely be middling, but most suggest it will be very challenging, with matchups designed to peak national interest and garner big television coverage. As USC's 2024 non-conference schedule already includes heavyweights LSU (in Las Vegas) and Notre Dame, along with a now rising San Jose State, it will be very interesting to see what the Trojans will be facing in its maiden voyage.
So, I asked MS Bing AI: Which Big Ten Teams will USC Play First in 2024?
The Answer Received: "It is not yet clear which Big Ten teams USC will play first in 2024, as the conference schedule has not been released. However, some possible opponents include Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin, who are among the top teams in the Big Ten."
Comment: So, while Bing's Chat GPT artificial intelligence doesn't know what Big Ten slate USC will play in 2024, I'm thinking its response suggests it will be tough one.

SO WHEN I SWITCHED THE "TONE" OF MY DESIRED AI RESPONSE FROM "PROFESSIONAL" TO "ENTHUSIASTIC" I GOT THIS:
"In a stunning move that shook the college sports landscape, USC and UCLA announced that they will join the Big Ten Conference in 2024. The two schools, which have been part of the Pac-12 since its inception in 1959, decided to jump ship after being wooed by the Big Ten's lucrative media rights deals and academic prestige. But which Big Ten teams will they face first in their new conference?
According to sources close to the situation, USC and UCLA will be placed in different divisions of the Big Ten, with USC joining the West and UCLA joining the East. This means that USC will have to contend with powerhouses like Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, while UCLA will have to deal with heavyweights like Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State. The first games for both schools in 2024 are expected to be against their new division rivals.
USC's first game will be at home against Minnesota, a team that has not beaten USC since 1955. The Trojans hope to make a good impression on their new conference mates by showing off their high-octane offense and flashy uniforms. Meanwhile, UCLA's first game will be on the road against Rutgers, a team that has not beaten anyone since 2017. The Bruins hope to avoid an embarrassing upset by playing solid defense and not getting lost on their way to New Jersey.
Both schools are confident that they can compete in their new conference and bring some West Coast flair to the Midwest. However, some fans are skeptical about how well they will adapt to the colder weather, tougher competition and longer travel distances. Some critics also question whether this move was motivated by money rather than tradition or loyalty. Regardless of how they fare in 2024 and beyond, USC and UCLA have made a bold decision that will change college sports forever."
WOW! Think I'll try the poetry response option next!

So, here's the Chat's AI response (in just seconds) for my request for it to write a poem about the subject:
Which Big Ten Teams will USC Play First in 2024?
The Trojans are joining the Big Ten A new challenge awaits them then They'll face some foes they've never met And some old rivals they won't forget
Who will be the first to test their might? Will it be the Buckeyes or the Scarlet Knights? Will it be the Wolverines or the Nittany Lions? Will it be the Badgers or the Hawkeyes?
Maybe they'll start with a cross-division game And meet the Cornhuskers or the Golden Gophers Maybe they'll face a familiar name And clash with the Fighting Illini or the Boilermakers
Or maybe they'll get a surprise opponent And play against the Terrapins or the Wildcats Or maybe they'll get a marquee event And battle with the Spartans or the Hoosiers
No matter who they play, it will be exciting The Trojans and the Big Ten will put on a show The fans will cheer and chant and sing And watch their teams compete and grow
Which Big Ten Teams will USC Play First in 2024? We'll have to wait and see what's in store.

Homework will never be the same! Although it would be interesting to see if everyone in the class used AI for an assignment and all turned in the exact same paper.
