Just this afternoon I listened to Strong Message Here, a podcast by Armando Iannucci who was talking with Stewart Lee about AI. Some of their stories were hilarious, including one very similar to Clive's story about Smyth's goals. It's on Spotify or BBC Sounds here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/p

Absolutely.

This "I asked AI" slop really has to stop on here.


Bllx. Downticked in error. Couldn’t agree more. Bloody pointless and causes unnecessary arguments.

I need a SAGA. What’s the SAGA? It’s ….. Queen’s Park Rangers.

10 goalkeepers
9 central coast mariners
8 injured defenders
7 emergency loans
6 rough diamonds

5 midget 10s….

4 more coaches
3 more physios
2 board directors

And a CEO in perpetuity

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

Our company put us through two days of it and one of the guys that took a session taught us how to bully it into changing it's answer.

Ask it how many goals Paul Smyth has scored this season and assuming it gets it right to start with (which sometimes it won't) then with the right prompts you can harangue it into changing its mind and giving you another, wrong, answer.

It's largely slop, and it's scary/depressing how many sensible, grown up, intelligent people are just asking it to do their thinking/research/writing for them.


It has value as a language model, but that's about it. I use it to refine various briefings/submissions/speeches that have already been written but could use a bit of polishing off, but I don't trust it to do anything from scratch. I had a long battle with Chat GPT recently trying to get it to summarise a 700 page report and it's 100+ recommendations into a spreadsheet - it kept offering to add on all these bells and whistles that I didn't ask for, like costings, sequencing, ect. Whenever I asked for the actual document, it said it was still producing it. I pushed it a few times and it eventually turned round and said it couldn't do any of it. Waste of bloody time.

Looks like Nourry, cycling Ben and Belk are doing our signings from an app. Assume you can download it from the Apple Store.

What’s people’s thoughts on Brannagan from Oxford. He can’t stay there if they go down….even if they stay up. Always find him such a pain to play against. If we are to move Varane and 1 of Field or Hayden on, wouldn’t mind this guy signing.

I assume Jordan James is unrealistic?

James is on loan to Leicester from Rennes so he's been sent there to get a season under his belt to return to his parent club.

Brannagan will be 30 next month. He's an excellent footballer but doesn't really fit the recruitment age plan. Unless say both Field and Hayden leave.

Never knowingly right.

Thanks. Didnt realise that about James. I was thinking an experienced replacement for Hayden or Field. And that could be Brannagan.

Boy Kemper, NAC Breda left back being linked with us apparently. Know nothing about him but the journo is a reliable Dutch journo so my friend who follows the league tells me.

You can see what's coming headline wise if he gets a red card.

Big fan of Brannagan. Leader, spiky, nice clean crisp passer, keeps it simple in the middle of the park.

He doesn't seem to have played that many games per season at the 3 clubs he's been at. Does he have some kind of bad injury record? If so, when can he start?

21 days out injured in last 3 seasons doesn't seem much to me. Played 39 games this season as captain.

By Williams' maths that's 178% availability.
