The standard of sports journalism on these local sites is atrocious at times.
-
This is the worst yet lol
-
I don't think that it is beyond belief - although I would hope that the estimated price is off the mark.
I can understand the link to Joel Cooper also - last year of contract at Linfield, Northern Irish fella who has shone in the NIFL.
-
Joel Cooper left Linfield and followed the same path as Gavin Whyte and Mark Sykes and joined Oxford United, he didn’t get much game time and was sent on loan to Port Vale and he didn’t play a lot and was soon back at Linfield.
He’s happy at Linfield playing every week being the club’s top earner and getting plenty of plaudits

So, we see the Supercomputer has been supplemented at great expense by Artificail Intelligence. This is what ad revenue pays for when we're baited and bite.
Personally, I think this is potentially dangerous that 'journalists go this far in speculating about the futures of players in that sort of detail could have a destabilising effect. It will just perpetuate the Rumour Mill and won't be long before managers and players are confronted with these stories "We understand X player is considering a move to X..."
How long before someone confronts Luke Molyneux about his move to Peterborough and there will be those fans who'll accuse the club of selling players for peanuts!

It was created by Ai if you read the full article and what it predicted ould happen or what clubs needed to strengthen the teams ,but total rubbish
-
It presents AI like the Architect at the centre of the The Matrix, when in reality my kids use AI to do their school homework.
Could Moly move on though? He was pretty ruthless leaving Hartlepool for another L2 club - a team in the North East close to home. He must be on plenty of shopping lists, so I wouldn't faint with shock if someone came in for him with half a million quid and he went somewhere else. I'd be gutted though! He's the modern day Copps - when all else fails usually he'll find a spark to make something happen.

It’s no different to the usual “club A needs position B so they might be interested in player C” that’s been around for years, and AI is of interest to a lot of people at the moment so can see why they’ve gone for that angle. Don’t think it’s destabilising and most people will just take it at face value.

Molyneux is too old for Peterborough if you look at their recent business

Sorry to disagree Reg, he's nothing like as good as Copps JMHO

Completely agree Raven, it wasn't a direct comparison as such, more my opinion on Moly's importance to this team currently as our most creative player.

Agreed.
I may have got this wrong, but my understanding is that AI works by collating all the information which is available on a subject at a given time, weighing it and forming a view. In this situation there is a vast amount of unknown data, so they are cobbling together what historical information is out there and extrapolating. Future data could come in from virtually anywhere, could it not?
So, if they were truly responsible, they should be saying what chance there is of it being accurate. Would you go as high as 5%? Perhaps the writer of the article and the Editor don’t realise that, but its value makes it scarcely worthy of publication in a paper like the YP.
So the article is really worthless, but some people could swallow it and it will colour their view of AI and add to the pool of misinformation that is so pervasive.

I might be wrong but I seem to recall Mols saying something about wanting to build himself a legacy at Rovers, something along the same lines as Copps.
-
Given the prevalence of malign bots any information collated that produces any kind of AI generated synthesis is not only extremely suspect but is also quite possibly dangerous

Molys going anywhere for 220k is laughable
Yes he may go, but as an assett, which is what GM speaks openly about and we as fans should be aware of.
Sometimes we will need to sell to reinvest.

AI is no worse than the current journalists who lie every day when saying things like "I've heard...", "got it on good authority...". No you don't, you're lying to sell your rag
Today's lie of a headline "Pep linked with Donny job"
Pep denies
Tomorrow's headline "Pep denies Donny link"
Two days of stories from one lie. Scummy media. Long may they stand in snow storms telling me it's snowing

I think we can make an exception of Ricky Charlesworth of the DFP.
