With this in mind, Ticketgum utilised ChatGPT’s image generator to reimagine what Premier League football fans would look like, based on ChatGPT’s physical and behavioural stereotypes of each football club.
Here is what they came up with for Brighton and some other Premier League sides.
5. Manchester United
ChatGPT highlights the pride and diverse fanbase of Manchester United supporters, known for their passionate and vocal presence at Old Trafford. However, ChatGPT also suggests fans are stereotyped as ‘Glory Hunters’, implying a greater interest in the club’s success rather than its history. “The fans, in the team's iconic red, show expressions of pride, success and global diversity. They’re more animated and expressive…emphasising the passionate and unified spirit of the club's supporters.” Photo: ChatGPT/Ticketgum
6. Newcastle United
ChatGPT stereotypes Newcastle United’s fan base as ‘Die-Hard Fans’, who are incredibly loyal and dedicated, despite the club’s lack of recent success. Additionally, ChatGPT recognises Newcastle fans’ loyalty, as they have faced considerable hardship and disappointment due to the club’s fluctuating performances. “The fans…display expressions of unwavering loyalty and passion, symbolising the club’s intense fanbase and rich history. [The banners] highlight the club’s culture and community spirit, embodying the dedicated nature of Newcastle United supporters”. Photo: ChatGPT/Ticketgum
7. Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur are known for their fierce rivalry with Arsenal, adding intensity to their support. ChatGPT also revealed that fans still see themselves as underdogs compared to the other big clubs in the league. “Dressed in navy blue and white, showing expressions of ambition and mixed emotions, capturing the club’s quest for success. [Fans are] engaged and hopeful.” Photo: ChatGPT/Ticketgum
8. West Ham
West Ham supporters, stereotyped by ChatGPT for their East London pride, passionate support, and vocal presence, create a lively atmosphere and are, of course, recognised for their claret and blue kit. “The fans, in claret and blue, display expressions of resilience and hardiness, reflecting the club’s historic working-class roots and the gritty spirit of its supporters. [They’re] passionate and vocal…capturing the enduring and spirited nature of West Ham United’s fan base.” Photo: ChatGPT/Ticketgum
