ARTIFICIAL intelligence is everywhere – even taking on the terraces of our top football clubs.
That’s because these images are all computer-generated likenesses of terrace stereotypes – based on the fans of a string of top clubs. It’s all the work of social media site Reimagine UK.
GettyDo you and your club’s fans match up to how AI sees you? Find out here[/caption]
Their tech wizards get ’bots to scour thousands of fan pictures and descriptions of supporters to analyse the defining traits of each.
Then the site, which has tens of thousands of followers online, uploads the results, and no, they’re not real people – before you think you recognise that bloke from down the pub.
The Newcastle entry is a nod to Toon legend Paul Gascoigne’s pal Jimmy “Five Bellies” Gardner, the Brighton bloke gets a seagull, and the West Ham man has an, er, food-stained shirt.
Here, Mike Ridley reveals the full line-up so you can compare them to your footie-loving pals.
West Ham

Arsenal

THIS one’s been to a hipster North London hair salon – and maybe that’s why AI reckons he’s too trendy to team his shirt with a red and white scarf.
Newcastle United

OF course, it had to be – five bellies and two chins, in tribute to Gazza’s portly pal. But he looks pretty pleased. Maybe he fancies boozing in Europe next season?
