ChatGPT knows even less about football than your football hating girlfriend

There are people who swear by ChatGPT, but I only ever get rubbish when I test the service.

Today I asked it what it thought of my Premier League match prediction that Manchester City would beat Ipswich and I got this gem:

“Ipswich is not currently in the Premier League; they play in the Championship. You might want to double-check this fixture as it seems misplaced.”

For those who don’t know, it’s been around eight months since Ipswich was promoted.

I continually test ChatGPT by asking about things I know really well. On balance it is wrong more often than it is right. The disturbing thing is that people are using tools like this to make business decisions.
