Professional football is usually divided into two worlds. In one are the signings that are worth millions, private jets and agents. In the other, players who earn normal salaries live from short contracts and fight to stay in the field. In this second category is Demetri Mitchell, a 28 -year -old English footballer who has just signed for Leyton Orient, in the League One (the third British division).
This player, who was a canterano of Manchester United, came to debut in the Premier League, but, like many players outside the elite, he ended up landing in Less Top Leagues. The funny thing about all this, beyond its history, is that it did not imagine, is that its last signing would do it almost without human help: it leaned on Chatgpt.
In an interview in the podcast From My LeftThe player explained that the club had offered him a contract and that, instead of resorting to an agent, he decided to ask for advice from OpenAi’s artificial intelligence.
«The orient sent me an offer and I used chatgpt to ask how I should negotiate and what I should say. I said: ‘This is what I won last season. I will have to move to London, how much will it cost to live? My wife will come with me, with our son.’ I felt that I was worth a little more, but I did not want to say: ‘I think I deserve it.’ signing, «he explains.
He helped him, as he says, to structure his counterofferte without arrogant sounding, explaining to the chatbot that he felt he was worth a little more, but that he did not want to say it in a direct way. «Chatgpt was the best agent I have had in my career. The commissions are 5%, Chatgpt cost me 15 pounds per month. The players’ finances are very different from what they think …», he says.
The truth is that in this way the accounts come out. However, with an agent, the thing changes. «Let’s say you earn three thousand a week: you deduce 45% and you have to give 5% to the agent,» he says. «Do not get meling, it is a good salary, but when you have a mortgage and a car to pay, and your wife cannot work because she is far from Manchester, the expenses are high,» he adds.
Intermediaries commissions moved more than 800 million dollars alone in 2023, a figure that is extracted above all in elite football. In lower divisions, players usually opt for people of their trust or be directly those who put their faces and their knowledge to get as much as possible. This, as you can imagine, is not always the most effective.
However, it seems that Chatgpt is the key in all this and having AF as a personalized advisor has done a great favor. While it is true that this chatbot cannot read a contract in the same way that someone specialized, can give negotiation strategies or raise how to better argue a salary request.
Be careful because there is trap: chatgpt could get you just the opposite
The truth is that there are already people who have fallen right at the other end of the AI balance. This is what happened to a Spaniard who asked Chatbot himself helps to plan his retirement. He believed that Chatgpt could advise him on pensions, quotes and how to retire from the work world in the best possible way.
The result was catastrophic, since, After following his indications, the calculation he presented to Social Security left him with a pension reduced to 200 euros for life.
«He consulted ChatgPT how much he would have and explained and told him that he had left … I think he said 800 euros by virtue of the quadrages seventh of a law that exists … but there is no such provision,» explains Ignacio de la Calzada, his lawyer. «Come on, he invented,» he adds.
«Total, he is going to retire … and 800, do you know how much he had left? 200 euros for life. Let’s see if we can do something, but I can already assure you that it is very complicated because it is fine, it is correct,»
