“Even AI Feels Our Heartbreak”: ChatGPT Roasting Kaizer Chiefs Humours South Africans

• AI model, ChatGPT, humorously advised against supporting the struggling Kaizer Chiefs Football Club
• The man who presented the questions also wondered where the team would be placed on the English football pyramid
• Many local social media users laughed at ChatGPT's candid take on football heartbreak

Jethren Barr, a former professional South African soccer player, saw ChatGPT roast Kaizer Chiefs Football Club when he posed a few questions about the team. With the team having suffered four consecutive defeats across all competitions, some social media users agreed with the AI chatbot's assessment.

On 28 February 2026, Jethren took to his TikTok account and asked ChatGPT where Kaizer Chiefs would place in the English football pyramid. The artificial voice stated that it would appear in the English Football League (EFL) One, the third-highest division in the league system and second-highest level of the EFL.

Next, the athlete asked ChatGPT if it would allow its children (if it could have any) to support the team.
