We asked ChatGPT to pick the best Aston Villa XI of all time and it did surprisingly well - gallery

We tested ChatGPT’s knowledge of Aston Villa and it did better than you’d think.

The latest craze in the world of technology is the artificial intelligence application ChatGPT, so we thought we would give it a go with an Aston Villa spin.

In case you haven’t yet jumped on the bandwagon yourself, ChatGPT is a new chatbot developed by OpenAI to follow instructions in prompts and provide a detailed response.

Users can ask ChatGPT near-enough anything they like and the system will more often than not give a surprisingly well-informed answer.

With that in mind, we quizzed the software to find out its level of knowledge about The Villans and it did rather well, to be fair to it.

Having asked it to provide its best Villa XI of all-time, ChatGPT had a decent go with some superb explanations for its choices.

Although it did miss out on four huge names in Stan Lynn, Charlie Aitken, Dennis Mortimer and Tony Morley, many would argue the rest were worthy of being in there.

So, without further ado, here is the all-time Lions starting XI that ChatGPT provided us – with some nostalgic pictures, as well as the application’s explanations.
