I love this story!!
I'm impressed by ChatGPT. But I've also got a healthy respect for Atari Chess, a cartridge for the classic Atari 2600 Video Computer System from 1977. I got Atari Chess when I was nine years old in third grade. I'd just learned how to play chess and already wanted to get better by having a computer opponent to practice with. Atari Chess beat me EVERY time. Then again I've only won a single time at chess but that's beside the point...
Anyhoo, a Citrix engineer set ChatGPT against the Atari 2600 in a game of chess. And the Atari from almost fifty years ago clobbered the modern AI.
ChatGPT is completely worthless at chess. It often confuses pieces. Makes illegal moves. It can't comprehend the board. It's one thing it doesn't seen to be getting any better at.
