While the world is waiting with bated breath to learn who the next US President will be, the viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng has already predicted the winner.
Moo was presented with two watermelons bearing the names of the candidates in Thai language. Guess who Moo picked? Donald Trump.
The prediction game was carried out on Monday at Moo's home, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand. She was beckoned out of her watery enclave for the prediction and Moo didn't hesitate one bit before munching on the fruit with Trump's name on it.
While Moo picked Trump, the other hippo with her opted for Kamala Harris.
Moo isn't the lone one who predicted Trump's victory. Jokes aside, poll guru Nate Silver, a statistician, has predicted that Trump will emerge winner in the tight race. Silver added that while former president Donald Trump has a 51.5 per cent chance of winning the elections, his opponent Kamala Harris has a 48.1 per cent chance.
Interestingly, American University professor Allan Lichtman,called the Nostradamus of the US election, has predicted that Harris will win. Lichtman is known for his accurate predictions, and came out right in nine out of 10 of the last presidential elections.
However, ChatGPT's predictions went beyond all that. The AI platform pretended to be Nostradamus and predicted that neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris would take the win. Instead "a dark horse would rise from the shadows to take power."
Meanwhile, the Simpsons, which has made some accurate predictions, seems to have given some clue about who the next winner will be. The Simpsons fans believe the sitcom predicted Kamala Harris would be POTUS. Recently, an episode went viral, wherein The Simpsons character Lisa was seen wearing very similar clothes to the veep – a purple suit, pearl necklace, and pearl earrings.
