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.

AI including ChatGPT is being marketed as super awesome at everything, which is why that and similar AI is being forced into absolutely everything and being sold as a replacement for people.

Something marketed as AGI should be treated as AGI when proving it isn’t AGI.

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.

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.
