Lifecoach5000ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic
FMT99Did 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.
[deleted] in lemmyAI 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.
pelespiritNot 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.

They will, when it makes sense for what the AI is designed to do. For example, ChatGPT can outsource image generation to an AI dedicated to that. It also used to calculate math using python for me, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore, probably due to security issues with letting the AI run arbitrary python code.
ChatGPT however was not designed to play chess, so I don't see why OpenAI should invest resources into connecting it to a chess API.
I think especially since adding custom GPTs, adding this kind of stuff has become kind of unnecessary for base ChatGPT. If you want a chess engine, get a GPT which implements a Stockfish API (there seem to be several). For math, get the Wolfram GPT which uses Wolfram Alpha's API, or a different powerful math GPT.
