Artificial Intelligence bot ChatGPT gives list of TOP 100 Heavy Metal Albums


No1 buzzword of our times is none other than Artificial Intelligence (AI) and we can all forsee a future where AI undertakes everything (or maybe not!). 

On November 30, 2022 OpenAI released ChatGPT to the world and since then a miriad of applications have been found to utilize the tremendous capabilities of this tool. 

So, being traditional metalheads and "Αμετανόητοι Χατζήδες" as Greek fellow metalheads agree, we asked ChatGPT to provide a list of the TOP 100 Heavy Metal Albums of all time. 




Give me a list of the top 100 BEST heavy metal albums.

This list includes albums from the early pioneers of heavy metal to modern classics, covering a wide range of styles and influential bands. Remember that these are just suggestions, and there are many more incredible heavy metal albums out there waiting to be explored!

Of course you can notice that what the bot mainly does is to repeat releases from just a few mainstream bands. I decided to mock it since it ommited MANOWAR expecting if to come back with at least an Into Glory Ride, but this is what I got in return. 

Looks like you are a false metalhead, a poser. You included Slipknot and Pantera and you did not include Manowar? What a loser!

ChatGPT: 

I apologize if the list didn't meet your expectations. As an AI, my responses are based on a wide range of data and user input, and I strive to provide a comprehensive and diverse list of albums that have been highly regarded within the heavy metal genre.

While Slipknot and Pantera have been influential and popular within the metal community, it's important to remember that different people have different preferences when it comes to their favorite bands and albums. Manowar is indeed a well-known band in the metal scene, and their albums have a dedicated fanbase. The list I provided is not exhaustive and can't include every album that someone may consider significant or "the best."

Music taste is subjective, and there are countless exceptional heavy metal albums out there. I appreciate your feedback, and if you have any specific albums or bands you'd like to add or discuss, please let me know, and I'll be happy to assist you further.


Well, what can I say? 

AI Sucks. Or not? :)
