My predictions are going really badly, worse than I imagined 

I’m thinking of using AI to generate a report for me on the teams most recent matches, their overall records, home and away records, head-to-head results, etc
Does anyone here do it this way?

During the World Cup, I ran an experiment using AI to predict the exact results, but it was terrible, I got more wrong than I would have using my intuition, hehehe, but I'm thinking to make e nice and huge table to help me

Free versions of AI agents probably are not very useful for the purpose. To do it right, you'd likely need a more advanced version and spend some amount of time on designing the right prompts, telling AI what to focus on and feed it reliable sources of stats that you want to be considered.
But to be fair, all that hard work is already analysed by bookies, so all you need is to check the odds to see what's the most probable result and go with it (or against it if that's your strategy).

ps did you guys notice how horribly off the odds in Kicktipp's prediction centre are? I'm not sure how do they calculate them.

I have 2 AI's paid plan, so I’ll end up taking this test
But I want to emphasize that the point isn’t to ask for results, but rather to gather as much relevant information as possible in a well-organized table format that can help me make my picks on prediction day

Or I could just give up on the idea and go with the odds from the bookmakers, who’ll have already done this for me without charging anything extra, hahaha (just kidding) 

I’ve noticed that Kicktipp’s odds aren’t exactly the same as the bookies, but I haven’t compared them to see which one has a better hit rate

Not yet! Not worried about him experimenting. Netherlands will be doing the same... maybe? Not following the news at all, this is just going to be an all-in bet to keep things flowing. Don't know if Klopp still got it but he always had a knack for using small personalities to assemble panic-inducing machinations.

Thank me later, German fans!

I don't want to talk you out of this because you know, probably going to go wrong and then you would have someone you could blame.

Apart from the fact that they had the lead for so long, German played terribly bad. It's just not Germany anymore and I think a lot of people are still stuck in the past in 2014 when they won the World Cup. Those times couldn't be any more over than they actually are. I haven't been a big fan of their football for almost decade. Of course I enjoy when they win games, first and foremost more important games, but it is not a team that has the slightest chance in the near future to play for championships.

The Netherlands have been the better team by far. 12-1 corners? 8-2 shots on target? What was this? Netherlands - Tanzania?

^ Well, mv, it had to happen. Fairplay to NL though, they should actually have won and the numbers you posted are not a lie.

Some are very way off, actually. I don't pay attention to it any longer but you'd often see 20x on kicktipp when it's not even 10x on a book. I have a feeling the odds are calculated long ahead of schedule and not updated. Can't be bothered to check, of course haha

Well, if you trust AI, then asking for results based on the criteria/statistics you ask it to consider is not a bad move. It should be able to do it faster and more reliably then you doing it manually.
The tricky part would be picking the right stats, i.e. if you want to consider head-to-head results from 2, 3 or more years ago, or ignore them.

And the strategy would differ on whether your goal is to win the entire season or just particular week. If you're aiming for a long-term big win, you should probably be going with the most probable option and for consistency. But if you're aiming for winning a week ($50 free bet) then, in certain circumstances you may be forced to against the grain and pick underdogs, to give you advantage over others.
