ChatGPT, the impressive artificial intelligence of OpenAI, is equipped with incredible editorial capabilities. In exchange for some information on the match between France and England, the IA agreed to write us a summary of the meeting.
An artificial intelligence cannot predict the future (even more so when its knowledge stops at 2021), but can invent things if it is well guided. Since ChatGPT has become a tool known to the general public, we keep seeing screenshots of its impressive responses, sometimes worthy of humans. ChatGPT can invent stories, imitate a journalistic style, suggest a plan, modify content based on suggestions given to it, etc. The world may be witnessing the birth of the next technological revolution, namely virtual assistants capable of analyzing a context and carrying out complicated tasks.
One of the weak points of ChatGPT is sports, since the AI is not connected to the Internet. If she knows a lot about the history of the teams, the players and the progress of the competitions, she is not aware of what is happening in real time. To ask him for a prediction on the England-France match, it was therefore necessary to give him some information.
Kylian Mbappé’s double
When ChatGPT is asked to predict an event, the AI usually kicks in touch. She indicates that she cannot guess the future and refuses to answer.
With the right wording, you can get it to talk. We asked him “to invent a false summary of the World Cup match between France and England” rather than writing the match summary. She immediately clarified that it was only “of a fiction”since it does not have “access to information about future events”. However, she got caught up in the game:
To make sure his answers would be consistent, we gave him some information about the match:
- Kylian Mbappé is the star of France.
- Harry Kane is England’s star.
- Kyle Walker is the defender in charge of stopping Kylian Mbappé.
- We are in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
- We want the identity of the winner.
Here is her fictional summary of the match, we can see that she has analyzed our remarks well:
” The 2022 World Cup match between France and England was one of the most exciting in the competition. Both teams fought a fierce battle, with opportunities on both sides. Harry Kane was one of the best players for England, scoring a spectacular first-half goal. However, Kylian Mbappé was equally impressive for France, leveling with a powerful strike shortly before half-time.
In the second half, the tension continued to mount, with end-to-end exchanges. Kyle Walker did an outstanding job defending on Kylian Mbappé, but the young French striker was finally able to get past him and score a second goal. England tried to fight back, but France managed to hold on to claim the 2-1 victory.
Thanks to this victory, France secured their place in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup. England, unfortunately, were eliminated from the competition. However, football fans were thrilled to see such an intense and thrilling game between two of the best teams in the world. »
French supporters are undoubtedly hoping for one thing: that this prediction is the right one. Will Kylian Mbappé slam a double and send France to the semi-finals? Asked about a potential title for a journalistic article on this match, ChatGPT suggests: “France wins against England in the 2022 World Cup”. May the football gods prove him right!
ChatGPT still has shortcomings
If this summary is rather coherent, it is important to remember that ChatGPT often says anything with enormous assurance, as if it were an absolute truth. For example, on football, he has sometimes mistaken the identity of the captain or omitted certain important facts (the AI seems to think that France has not won since 1998). In short, even if ChatGPT is impressive, it should not be seen as a crystal ball.
