Is nothing safe from the cold, dead hands of artificial intelligence? Certainly not if you’re in the business of trying to win football matches because it's the the game’s newest double act.
It has crept in like Gabriel Magalhães at the back post at a corner kick and is being used in tracking player movement to offering tactical tweaks and has been as common at training grounds as bibs and traffic cones and is now being used by clubs to predict fatigue and even scout kids while they are still trying to grapple with which of Henry VIII's wives lost their heads.
VAR, of course, burst onto the scene and with semi-automated off-sides, it is conspiring to make us celebrate twice, once when he ball hits the back of the net and again once it has been checked for 5 mins to determine the strikers big toe wasn't in an offside position when he prodded it in.
Obviously many workers are concerned that Ai will be taking their jobs and many Employers are pondering on whether to allow the machines who don't need paying, holidays or coffee breaks to take the strain but what about football?
The Seattle Reign head coach, Laura Harvey, admitted that she had used ChatGPT to help determine her team’s tactics, asking it what formation would win them the most games in the National Women's Soccer League and it spurted out every team in the league and what formation they should play.
They are currently 5th in the 14 team league and last season they finished 13th and having won 10 games so far against their 5 wins last season, it seems Ai may be asked for tactics and suggestions by managers all over so AI isn't going to be put on the Subs bench anytime soon as it turns into a real life version of Football Manager.
