THE best Premier League team of all time has been decided by Chat GPT – but there are some controversial picks.
No current player makes the cut, while seven-time winners Manchester City have just one representative.
ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot, has gone with a 4-3-3 formation.
But that has presented a problem in midfield as England trio Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are included.
History proves the midfielders infamously could not play together with the Three Lions – Gerrard and Lampard in particular struggled to play alongside one another.
There is also a controversial pick in defence with Gary Neville selected instead of five-time Prem winner Kyle Walker.

In fact, Vincent Kompany is the only representative for City – though Lampard did spend one season at The Etihad towards the end of his career.
He is partnered in central defence by John Terry, whose one-time Chelsea team-mate Ashley Cole features at left-back.
Peter Schmeichel is chosen between the sticks with another United icon, Cristiano Ronaldo, playing right-wing.
Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer starts up-front with Thierry Henry the other pick in attack.

ChatGPT also listed several players who just missed out of the list – Petr Cech was named as the next best goalkeeper.
United trio Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Jaap Stam narrowly missed out in defence along with Virgil van Dijk and Sol Campbel.
While Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira and Cesc Fabregas can also consider themselves unlucky not to make the selection in midfield.
There was also a lot of competition for places in attack as Wayne Rooney, Dennis Bergkamp and Sergio Aguero just missed out.
