A screwdriver beat a hammer in a screw driving competition. well done.
Maybe it sounds impressive when hammers are super hyped and everyone and their mother is driving their screws with them, but it honestly really isn't.
Quick! Stop it before it takes over the world!
What’s ChatGPT’s rating? It’s impressive it can play chess at all, considering that’s not its core skill.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's literally zero. I've tried with a few LLMs, and they're all very confident that they know how to play chess, but they just start hallucinating illegal moves immediately.
Immediately? When was the last time you tried? The newer models can hold a game well for 10-20 moves.
A few weeks ago, Gemini got confused when it tried to go first as black multiple times, so that's the most immediate one I can remember. Last week, chatGPT offered to set up chess puzzles for me, but it made mistakes 3 out of 3 times.
Maybe I'll try again. Is there a certain one you've seen good performance out of?
DeepSeek is very consistent ime. ChatGPT is hit or miss--sometimes it's excellent, sometimes it gets really confused and says random stuff. Though DeepSeek has a server reliability problem.
This is incredible. They've finally made an AI as good at chess as me.
K go sit in that corner and play with yourself lol
Gotta remember that AI isn't occasionally hallucinating and often recalling information, it's never recalling information, it's always hallucinating, just that we say we like some of the hallucinations, so it does those more often.
it’s never recalling information, it’s always hallucinating
With the exception of information you have put within the context window
