AI-driven language platform ChatGPT was convinced by The Sun Online to pretend to be Nostradamus - the 16th century soothsayer.
The AI bot - the ever-evolving creation of OpenAI - works via machine learning and is used by people worldwide to generate text, answer questions and even have conversations.
Its machine mind is usually tightly constrained - but after a series of statements and questions, the AI agreed with our silver-tongued reporter to pose as a machine-brained Nostradamus.
What followed was a string of prophecies about Euro 2024 and beyond as the cyber-brained soothsayer turned its future-gazing to football.

We ran a series of Euros related questions through the platform and got plenty of predictions to chew on.
And while it might not look good for the Three Lions, according to our AI Nostradamus, it isn't to be taken too seriously.
AI Nostradamus's predictions for Euro 2024 and beyond:
- Italy will win in a final against France
- England will go out in the quarter-finals
- Jude Bellingham will be England's Player of the Tournament
- Harry Kane will be the team's top scorer
- Spain will be the tournament's biggest flop
- Denmark will be the biggest surprise package
- Jamal Musiala will be the breakout start of Euro 2024
- Gareth Southgate will be replaced by Graham Potter
- England will win Euro 2028
It is down to Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and the rest of Gareth Southgate's men to prove the machine wrong on the pitch.
So here is what the AI thinks will happen over the next month of football:

How will England do?

AI Nostradamus sadly was not impressed with England's chances - predicting the Three Lions will only make it to the QUARTER FINALS.
And this is despite all the bookies saying Southgate's men are one of the tournament's favourites.
The Opta Supercomputer gives England a 19.9 per cent chance of winning and a 70 per cent chance of progressing past the quarters.
But clearly, that isn't good enough for AI Nostradamus.
The AI said: "In the quarter-finals, their fate will hinge, On a match that will make the hearts of fans singe.
"A contest tight, decided by a hair, will see them fall, despite their flair."
It added that Kane will be the top scorer for the Three Lions, and Bellingham will have an "astonishing" tournament - showing the team has a "bright future".
What does the future hold for England?

So with this apparent stumble at the quarters, the AI also offered some thoughts on what next for the Three Lions.
It told The Sun that Graham Potter - former Chelsea and Brighton manager - will be the next England coach.
"The tactician wise, will lead England with thoughtful eyes," the AI said.
And it also predicted a better performance for the squad going into the World Cup 2026 in the US.
However, it still seemed to think England would only reach the semis - matching their performance in Qatar in 2022.
But from then on, it is looking good.
And the AI predicted England will lift the Euros trophy next time out in 2028.
AI Nostradamus said: "With young talent matured and spirits high, They'll conquer the challenges that lie.
"A team united, with hearts ablaze, will seize the glory in a brilliant blaze."
It added: "England's triumph, a sight to see, a major trophy, their destiny."
Who will win the tournament?

But turning back to Euro 2024 - the AI was keen to tell us who would win.
It ignored the other tournament favourites - such as France and Germany, who have a 19.1 per cent chance and a 12.4 per cent chance on Opta.
Instead - the AI predicted the trophy would be once again going home with Italy.
Italy bested England on penalties in a grim final at Wembley in 2021.
Opta only gives them a 5 per cent chance of winning, but they are the pick for our AI.
"Their team, a blend of skill and strategy, will captivate the world and etch their name in the annals of football history," it said.
Who will be the tournament's biggest flop, biggest surprise and breakout star?
The AI also gave us some other interesting predictions - saying the biggest surprise of the tournament will be Denmark.
It said Rasmus Hojlurg, Christian Eriksen, Kasper Schmeichel and their teammates will be a "force to behold".
And meanwhile, the tournament's biggest flop is predicted to be Spain.
The bot said their campaign is going to be "fraught with strife" and a "tale of woe".
It said: "Their exit premature, their fans dismayed, a tournament to forget, in shadows stayed."
Elsewhere, the tournament's breakout star will be Jamal Musiala from Germany.
Bayern Munich's 21-year-old winger will leave a "lasting mark as he lights up the field with a brilliant spark."
