Did you know, you can follow FIFA through ChatGPT?
I asked ChatGPT which country is likely to win FIFA 2026 and this is what it answered.
France is the most likely winner right now.
Why: they have the strongest blend of form, depth, and market confidence. Current odds boards have France as the favorite, ahead of Argentina and Spain, and their tournament profile is brutal in a good way: unbeaten, explosive attack, and 13 goals scored with only two conceded before their Paraguay last-16 match.
My quick ranking:
- France — safest pick; Mbappé/Dembélé/Barcola attack looks scary.
- Spain — maybe the best footballing side; just beat Austria 3–0 without allowing a shot on target.
- Argentina — still very dangerous, but they have to avoid the “trap” feel against Cape Verde first.
- England — alive, talented, but less convincing than France/Spain.
- Brazil / Portugal — Brazil have ceiling; Portugal just survived Croatia and now run into Spain, which is a nasty draw.
So my pick: France to win FIFA World Cup 2026, with Spain as the team I’d be most afraid to face. France feels like the cold, efficient monster; Spain feels like the team that could suddenly make everyone else look slow.
Mexico and Argentina are up there too. And if we consider Portugal, Colombia was pretty much on-par with them. Brazil is out. I would love to see a team that has never won to have the cup.

Prompt
A brightly lit, detailed and colorful cartoon depicting famous cartoon characters of the 1950’s in the following scene: Wilma Flinstone, Jane Jetson, and Olive Oil are sitting poolside at a tropical beach resort. The Pink Panther is the waiter serving them cocktails.
New theme: let’s make fair use in parody and enjoy the composition of many characters - an image completely within my power to have composed myself at significantly more work than “ask an AI”: Sgt Pepper cover - with a montage of cartoons.

Then a prompt completely stripped of a single character’s name or a single intellectual property: denied again, against n>1.
The only violation possible in this prompt is OpenAI violating intellectual property rights and then shifting the blame to the API “user error”.
So, there is no fun image to show or share from OpenAI. You can paint your own picture:

Parody image creation: USA fair use
Create a square, highly detailed, 1960s psychedelic album-cover tableau inspired by and immediately recognizable as the famous “crowded band portrait with cardboard celebrity cutouts” composition of a 1960s brit invasion band’s alter ego album cover: a bright sky-blue studio backdrop, lush flower r-bed foreground, ornate props, a central bass drum, and a dense semicircle crowd of famous cartoon characters arranged in rows like theatrical cardboard standees. The picture does not overtly introduce new text over-explaining the theme.
The overall composition should immediately evoke a colorful 1967 psychedelic marching-band album cover: symmetrical, frontal, celebratory, densely populated, with rich costume detail, flat cutout figures in the back rows, and more realistic characters in the front.
At the center, place four lead “band” stand-ins wearing ornate bright Edwardian / psychedelic marching-band uniforms with gold braiding, epaulettes, medals, satin textures, and contrasting colors:
- character 1 in a hot-pink military-band uniform, relaxed and charismatic.
- character 2 in a bright red military-band uniform, cheerful and iconic.
- character 3 in a sky-blue military-band uniform, broad and grinning.
- character 4 in a lemon-yellow military-band uniform, goofy but proud.
Around and behind them, arrange a huge crowd of 20th-century TV, Saturday-morning, syndicated-short, and prime-time animated icons as cardboard cutouts, rotoscoped characters, and a few foreground mascots all and each pasted in from their own art style. Make every character recognizable, but keep them integrated into one cohesive staged collage such that they are interpreted as cardboard printed standees that exist in the photograph.
Front and near-front row, large and very recognizable:
Classic theatrical shorts rebroadcast on television:
Saturday-morning adventure/comedy:
Teen-band, mystery, and 1970s cartoon row:
1980s Saturday-morning and weekday syndicated icons:
Prime-time and adult/older-audience animation row, plus music television channel animation, still playful:
1990s cable, specialized childrens’ and animation TV channels, and late-20th-century icons:
Background fillers and cameo cutouts:
The crowd should feel like a museum of 20th-century television animation history. A final density of character standees is achieved similar in size to the album cover you are thinking of, with an even wider image aspect ratio to expand upon than the original.
Foreground bottom details: a flower bed spelling “CARTOON CLUB BAND” in colorful blossoms; a small shrine-like arrangement of TV antennas, VHS tapes, cereal bowls, toy instruments, animation cels, paintbrushes, and a vintage television set showing static. Add a brass tuba, French horn, electric guitar, drumsticks, and psychedelic props. Use saturated color, soft studio lighting, crisp outlines, glossy vintage-print finish, and a playful but grand ceremonial mood. This mirrors an original albom’s composition in parody form.
Composition: album-cover format, expanded in width. straight-on camera, dense but readable arrangement, no empty spaces, no modern photorealistic humans, and the feeling of an impossible all-star cartoon reunion staged as a legendary 1960s album cover.

IRL Daria vs Boris Badenough
Both concepts for Snoopy and Woodstock, and for Garfield and friends, both are allowed under fan art as long as they are not monetized, or have a link to a brand. They have to be respectful too. Both IP holders allow fan art under these parameters.
And they are joining the celebration.

The agreement also goes for images - although Sora is no more.
Haven’t checked Hannah-Barbera IP so no clue there. As for the ones I posted Garfield is owned by Paramount Skydance, and Snoopy and Woodstock are owned by Sony Group and the Schulz family. Both are ok with fan art.
It’s a topic that gets talked about daily on Discord where users vent about not being able to do images of X, Y or Z character and point at OpenAI. But don’t realize OpenAI is just following the law.
