What the Grok?

Let's play with AI

Here's a list of ten of the best darts players of all time, based on their achievements, longevity, and impact on the sport:

Phil Taylor - Often considered the greatest of all time, "The Power" has won 16 World Championships (14 PDC, 2 BDO), numerous Premier League titles, and has dominated darts for decades with his record-breaking performances.
Michael van Gerwen - Known as "Mighty Mike," he has won three PDC World Championships, multiple Premier League titles, and is known for his high averages and spectacular performances.
Eric Bristow - "The Crafty Cockney" was a dominant force in the 1980s, winning five World Championships (all BDO) and contributing significantly to the professionalization of darts.
Raymond van Barneveld - "Barney" has won world titles in both the BDO (4 times) and PDC (1 time), showcasing his skill and adaptability across different eras of the sport.
John Lowe - He won three BDO World Championships and was known for his consistency and coolness under pressure. Lowe also threw the first televised nine-dart finish.
Gary Anderson - "The Flying Scotsman" has secured two PDC World Championships and is known for his smooth throwing style and high averages.
Dennis Priestley - "The Menace" won the inaugural PDC World Championship in 1994 and added another in 1996, known for his rivalry with Phil Taylor.
Adrian Lewis - "Jackpot" has two PDC World Championships under his belt and is known for his ability to perform under pressure, including throwing two nine-darters in one match.
Bob Anderson - "The Limestone Cowboy" was a BDO World Champion in 1988 and a key figure in the transition to professional darts, known for his flair and showmanship.
Jocky Wilson - Winning the BDO World Championship twice, Wilson was one of the sport's first real superstars, famous for his unique throwing style and fan interaction.

This list reflects players who have not only won significant titles but also those who have had a profound impact on the game's popularity, style, and development. However, darts is a sport where new stars continually emerge, so this list might evolve with time as more players make their mark on the sport's history.

Should note that I've just copypasta'd straight off Grok, and for whatever reason it didn't copy the numbers over. It is an ordered list. Any major issues? I don't really think so, much as I'm a Bob fan I don't see him ahead of Jocky, but the list is very defendable.
