Did the author thinks ChatGPT is in fact an AGI? It's a chatbot. Why would it be good at chess? It's like saying an Atari 2600 running a dedicated chess program can beat Google Maps at chess.

I don't use it for coding. I use it sparingly really, but want to learn to use it more efficiently. Are there any areas in which you think it excels? Are there others that you'd recommend instead?

Most people do. It's just called AI in the media everywhere and marketing works. I think online folks forget that something as simple as getting a Lemmy account by yourself puts you into the top quintile of tech literacy.

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

my favorite thing is to constantly be implementing libraries that don't exist

I find it really hit and miss. Easy, standard operations are fine but if you have an issue with code you wrote and ask it to fix it, you can forget it

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 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.

It's not important. You said AI isn't being marketed to be able to do everything. I said yes it is. That's it.

Plot twist: the toddler has a multi-year marketing push worth tens if not hundreds of millions, which convinced a lot of people who don't know the first thing about chess that it really is very impressive, and all those chess-types are just jealous.

That's because it doesn't know what it's saying. It's just blathering out each word as what it estimates to be the likely next word given past examples in its training data. It's a statistics calculator. It's marginally better than just smashing the auto fill on your cell repeatedly. It's literally dumber than a parrot.

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.

Articles like this are good because it exposes the flaws with the ai and that it can't be trusted with complex multi step tasks.

Helps people see that think AI is close to a human that its not and its missing critical functionality

In all fairness. Machine learning in chess engines is actually pretty strong.

AlphaZero was developed by the artificial intelligence and research company DeepMind, which was acquired by Google. It is a computer program that reached a virtually unthinkable level of play using only reinforcement learning and self-play in order to train its neural networks. In other words, it was only given the rules of the game and then played against itself many millions of times (44 million games in the first nine hours, according to DeepMind).

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.

I like tab coding, writing small blocks of code that it thinks I need. Its On point almost all the time. This speeds me up.

Not to help the AI companies, but why don't they program them to look up math programs and outsource chess to other programs when they're asked for that stuff? It's obvious they're shit at it, why do they answer anyway? It's because they're programmed by know-it-all programmers, isn't it.
