Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has developed and is being introduced to the sports world, but an absurd case of dismissal called by AI blind faith has emerged. Roberto Moreno (49, Spain), who was previously mentioned as a candidate for the coach of the Korean national soccer team, was humiliatingly replaced.
British media 'Daily Mail' reported on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that "Coach Roberto Moreno was dismissed from FC Sochi (Russia) for giving instructions that ignored common sense due to excessive dependence on ChatGPT."
According to reports, Moreno was found to have run the team using ChatGPT after taking the helm of Sochi in 2023.
That much has gone too far. Former Sochi general manager Andrei Orlov revealed a shocking anecdote in an interview with local media, saying, "Coach Moreno blindly trusted ChatGPT when planning the away game schedule and training program."
Director Orlov said, "During the Khabarovsk expedition in March last year, Moreno brought the schedule, saying, 'I made a plan by entering all variables into ChatGPT.' It was a schedule where the players could not sleep for as many as 28 hours," he revealed.
Then general manager Orlov said, "When I asked 'when the players are going to sleep?' Only then did I change my plan. However, there have already been complaints within the team," he said.
AI's blind faith continued in the process of recruiting players. Moreno entered the data into ChatGPT to decide on three striker candidates in the 2024-2025 summer transfer market. The AI's player of choice was Artur Shsenatsev. In fact, Shusenachev left the team for the first time in a year after the worst slump of not scoring a single goal in 10 games.
In the end, Sochi replaced Moreno after a slump after relegation and promotion. Director Orlov said, "It's good to use AI as an aid, but Moreno overused it for major tasks. The players did not trust Moreno and were tired of his lack of empathy.
Moreno has been a final candidate for the Korean national team in the past. In 2023, he was mentioned as a strong candidate along with former coach Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany). South Korea ultimately chose Klinsmann.
When he was a coach, he was evaluated as a leader with excellent potential. Moreno assisted Luis Enrique (currently Paris Saint-Germain) and was recognized as a head coach in FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, but as an official coach, he experienced a series of failures in AS Monaco and Granada.
