You're right. I'm not relying on this shit. It's a tool. Fucking up the gui is fine, but making any changes I don't research to my simulator core could fuck up my whole project. It's a tool that likes to cater to you, and you have to work around that - really, not too different from how much pressure you put on a grinder. You gotta learn how to work it. And, you're sentiment is correct. My lack of programming experience is a big hurdle I have to account for and make safeguards against. It would be a huge help if I started from the basics. But, I mean, I also can't rub two sticks together to heat my home. Doesn't mean I can't use this tool to produce reliable results.

It's not that hard to beat dumb 6 year old who's only purpose is mine your privacy to sell you ads or product place some shit for you in future.

The tough guys and sigma males of yester-year used to say things like "If I were homeless, I would just bathe in the creek using the natural animal fats from the squirrel I caught for dinner as soap, win a new job by explaining my 21-days-in-7 workweek ethos, and buy a new home using my shares in my dad's furniture warehouse as collateral against the loan. It's not impossible to get back on your feet."

But with the advent of AI, which, actually, is supposed to do things for you, it's completely different now.

I also can't rub two sticks together to heat my home.

Dude, that fucking sucks. What is wrong with you?

Tbf, the article should probably mention the fact that machine learning programs designed to play chess blow everything else out of the water.

You're so fucking silly. You gonna study cell theory to see how long you should keep vegetables in your fridge? Go home. Save science for people who understand things.

Same genius who forced all his own employees back into the office. An incomprehensibly stupid maneuver by an organization that literally owes its success to people working from home.

I agree with your general statement, but in theory since all ChatGPT does is regurgitate information back and a lot of chess is memorization of historical games and types, it might actually perform well. No, it can't think, but it can remember everything so at some point that might tip the results in it's favor.

If you pay for chatgpt you can connect it with wolfrenalpha and it's relays the maths to it

why don't they program them

AI models aren't programmed traditionally. They're generated by machine learning. Essentially the model is given test prompts and then given a rating on its answer. The model's calculations will be adjusted so that its answer to the test prompt will be closer to the expected answer. You repeat this a few billion times with a few billion prompts and you will have generated a model that scores very high on all test prompts.

Then someone asks it how many R's are in strawberry and it gets the wrong answer. The only way to fix this is to add that as a test prompt and redo the machine learning process which takes an enormous amount of time and computational power each time it's done, only for people to once again quickly find some kind of prompt it doesn't answer well.

There are already AI models that play chess incredibly well. Using machine learning to solve a complexe problem isn't the issue. It's trying to get one model to be good at absolutely everything.

Regurgitating an impression of, not regurgitating verbatim, that's the problem here.

Chess is 100% deterministic, so it falls flat.

I don't understand why this is so important, marketing is all about exaggerating, why expect something different here.

no.

the answer is always, no.

Can ChatGPT actually play chess now? Last I checked, it couldn't remember more than 5 moves of history so it wouldn't be able to see the true board state and would make illegal moves, take it's own pieces, materialize pieces out of thin air, etc.

ChatGPT must adhere honorably to the rules that its making up on the spot. Thats Dallas

They are starting to do this. Most new models support function calling and can generate code to come up with math answers etc

Do they though? No one I talked to, not my coworkers that use it for work, not my friends, not my 72 year old mother think they are sentient.

From a technology standpoint, nothing is stopping them. From a business standpoint: hubris.

To put time and effort into creating traditional logic based algorithms to compensate for this generic math model would be to admit what mathematicians and scientists have known for centuries. That models are good at finding patterns but they do not explain why a relationship exists (if it exists at all). The technology is fundamentally flawed for the use cases that OpenAI is trying to claim it can be used in, and programming around it would be to acknowledge that.

Yeah its like judging how great a fish is at climbing a tree. But it does show that it's not real intelligence or reasoning

ChatGPT has been, hands down, the worst AI coding assistant I've ever used.

It regularly suggests code that doesn't compile or isn't even for the language.

It generally suggests AC of code that is just a copy of the lines I just wrote.

Sometimes it likes to suggest setting the same property like 5 times.

It is absolute garbage and I do not recommend it to anyone.

The answer might be no today, but always seems like a stretch.
