The discussion about the greatest footballer of all time does not seem to end. Many thought that with Argentina’s world conquest in Qatar there would be no doubts with Leo Messi, but for others, he will never surpass Pelé or Maradona. What does Artificial Intelligence say about it?
We consult with ChatGPT and Google Bard, the two most popular chatbots today. Every text-generating Artificial Intelligence has its opinion.
Both programs gave us his top 5 most outstanding players in the world of football. Which one do you agree with?
we do it through of a countdown, interspersing the opinions of each one.
Fifth place: Johan Cruyff
In fifth place for Google Bard is Johan Cruyff. The Dutchman never won a World Cup (his team was runner-up in Germany 1974), but the influence he left on the game, as a footballer and coach, was remarkable.
“Was a pioneer of total football philosophy and is credited with revolutionizing the way the sport is played,” acknowledges Bard.
ChatGPT agrees with Bard in giving fifth place to Cruyff, highlighting “his elegant and creative style”.
Fourth place: Diego Maradona / Cristiano Ronaldo
Position number four goes to Diego Armando Maradona, according to Google Bard. “He led Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup and is considered by many to be the greatest dribbler of all time,” notes Artificial Intelligence.
Cristiano Ronaldo he would be the fourth best player of all time for ChatGPT. OpenAI AI defines him as “another player who has left a significant mark on modern football. With exceptional skill and impressive goalscoring ability, he has won multiple league titles and the Champions League.”
Third place: Pelé / Leo Messi
Third place, according to Google Bard, is obtained by Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pele. He points it out as “the Brazilian legend who won three World Cups with his team. He is Brazil’s all-time leading goalscorer and is widely regarded as one of the most prolific goalscorers in history.”
Leo Messi He is the third best soccer player of all time, according to ChatGPT. “Messi has been awarded the Ballon d’Or on several occasions and has set numerous individual records,” emphasizes Artificial Intelligence, which curiously still does not know that Messi led Argentina to win the World Cup in Qatar.
Second place: Cristiano Ronaldo / Diego Maradona
CR7 has the second position for Bard: “He is the all-time top scorer in international men’s football and has won league titles in England, Spain and Italy.”
For its part, ChatGPT grants this position to Maradona, “an emblematic and creative figure in the field; his outstanding performance in the 1986 World Cup, where he led Argentina to the title, established him as one of the greatest players of all time”.
The greatest footballer of all time: Leo Messi / Pelé
We arrived at the first place and, evidently, there is a difference in criteria between Bard and ChatGPT.
Google’s Artificial Intelligence gives him the title of best player of all time to Messi, as “he has won a record 7 Ballon d’Or awards and has scored over 700 goals for club and country”.
The curious thing is that, like ChatGPT, it still does not give the World Cup obtained in Qatar as its first argument. Just by asking him, he points it out: “Many people believe that his World Cup victory finally puts him on top and cements his status as the greatest player of all time.”
For ChatGPT, Pele is still the King. “The best footballer of all time. The former Brazilian striker won three World Cups with the Brazil national team and scored more than 1,000 goals throughout his career.
