| المنتخب الوطني تعادل مع القطري 1-1 في انطلاقة «خليجي 26». من المصدر Source: Moaz Kambal - Abu Dhabi Date: December 24, 2024 The predictions of the most famous generative artificial intelligence platforms “Chat GPT” of the American company “Open AI”, “Copilot” owned by the American technology giant “Microsoft”, and “Meta AI” owned by the American technology and internet services company “Meta”, differed regarding the identity of the champion of the Arabian Gulf Cup “Gulf 26” football tournament currently being held in Kuwait, but they ruled out “Al-Abyad” winning the title. |
Over the years, the phenomenon of using animals to predict the results of football matches in major tournaments has been popular among many fans, and has a beloved symbolism for the countries hosting the finals, which was the reason for the fame of the octopus “Paul”, the turtle “Capesao”, the cat “Achilles”, and the panda “Suhail”.
With the artificial intelligence revolution that has brought about many positive changes and increased efficiency in many professions in a short period, “Emirates Today” has used the three most famous platforms around the world to identify the qualifiers from the groups to the semi-finals and the final, and the team that won the title, and the same questions were asked on the three platforms.
In response to the prediction of the two teams that qualified from the first group, Microsoft’s personal artificial intelligence assistant “Copilot” stated that the first group became more exciting after the end of the first round with all teams tied, and that he expects Kuwait to qualify, which will benefit from the support of its fans, in addition to the Qatari team, which has a strong group and a good history in recent tournaments.
In turn, “Chat GPT” stated that the competition between the four teams is very intense, and expected the UAE and Qatar to qualify, but stressed that the results will depend on the collective performance and tactics during the matches.
In contrast, “Meta AI” stated that the first group is the most difficult in determining the identity of the two qualified teams, and that all the teams in the group are former champions, however, he expects Kuwait and one of the two teams (Emirati or Qatari) to advance. As for the second group, "Copilot" expected that Iraq and Bahrain would snatch the two qualifying cards. For its part, "ChatGPT" stated that the most prominent candidates to qualify from this group are Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
In turn, "Meta AI" agreed with "ChatGPT" that qualification would be limited to Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and that they are the most likely to qualify.
Regarding the teams qualified for the semi-finals and the results of the "golden square", "Copilot" expected the first semi-final to be a meeting between Kuwait and Bahrain, and that it would be decided by the "Red", and the second semi-final would be a confrontation between Qatar and Iraq, and that it would be decided by the "Lions of Mesopotamia". "ChatGPT" predicted the first semi-final between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and that "Al-Annabi" would win it. As for the other semi-final card between the Emirates and Iraq, it would go to "Al-Abyad".
As for "Meta AI", it predicted a confrontation in the first semi-final between Kuwait and Iraq, and it would be decided by the "host country", and that the second semi-final would bring together Saudi Arabia and the Emirates or Qatar, and that it would be won by the "Green".
The three AI tools were divided over the identity of the team that would win the title. Copilot predicted that the Iraqi team would retain its title, ChatGPT confirmed that Qatar, the 2014 title holder, would win the tournament, while Meta AI predicted that the Saudi team would win for the fourth time in its history, after a
21-year wait.
