Whenever someone makes a remark about either Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, there's always someone who springs up in defense.
This time, though, an unlikely source in the form of ChatGPT came to Lionel Messi's defense after broadcaster Piers Morgan's dig at the Argentine while comparing him with Ronaldo.
Following the announcement of Messi's move to Inter Miami in the MLS, Morgan posted a tweet expressing his disappointment at the Argentine calling time on his career in Europe. He added that Ronaldo did not do the same, quoting the announcement by BBC Sport, which read:
"So, Messi quits elite football at 35, three years earlier than Ronaldo. Presumably, we'll now read/hear all the same scathing, mocking pieces by sportswriters/pundits that they wrote/said about Cristiano - right? Spoiler alert: we won't."
Morgan has been known to stir the pot wherever he decides to poke his nose, but a Twitter user named Moagi had enough of that. They summoned an AI bot named '@ReplyGPT', which came up with a scathing response to shut down the TV presenter. The AI's tweet read:
"@piersmorgan Well, it's not like Messi won countless individual awards and led his team to numerous titles or anything. Oh wait..."
In the past, other pundits and analysts have delivered fitting responses to Morgan, but it seems like AI is catching up quickly.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's impact on their new clubs' online presence
Cristiano Ronaldo sent shockwaves across the world when he appeared in an interview with Morgan to discuss the severance of his relationship with several people at Manchester United late last year.
He then joined Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League following the mutual termination of his contract with the Red Devils. Cristiano Ronaldo has had a big impact on the pitch, scoring 14 goals and providing two assists in 19 appearances. His arrival also boosted the club's followers on social media, with Al-Nassr gaining over 5.1 million on Instagram in just two days after the Portuguese superstar's arrival.
Lionel Messi, meanwhile, joined Inter Miami and his arrival, has also seen the club's Instagram following quintuple in 24 hours. The impact the two superstars continue to have on the world of football is something unlikely to be seen in years to come.
