LOL. I love that it tried to make a human-like excuse instead of owning it's sucking. Wait, I was about to joke about how audacious it is to call it "AI" if it can't play chess, but perhaps it's doing a much better job at emulating emotional responses than thinking. Which would be interesting if we made an emotional bot before an intelligent one. |
Experiments like this annoy me, because chatgpt 4o in its current iteration is quite dumb and meant for quick answers at best on the cheap. It's not a reasoning model, and it has a 128k token context window max through API (chatgpt version can be as low as 32K or 8K on the free version) and would lose track of the board or even what it's doing very quickly. Add to this that it used Atari 2600 images of the board (how can it identify what the board is) and it be a hallucinating mess within a few messages.
In contrast you have a computer program with set algorithms built off training of games. Even an ancient program such as Chess on Atari 2600 could beat your average chess player out there.

It may seem like a gotcha type comparison, but it really isn't. This is simply not a good use case. To be honest I don't know how other more advanced models would fare any better, but this is a weird headline maker.
