ChatGPT gets crushed at chess by a 1 MHz Atari 2600
SMRTR summary
A humble Atari 2600, with its 1.19 MHz processor, has trounced the mighty ChatGPT in a game of chess. Citrix engineer Robert Jr. Caruso pitted OpenAI's chatbot against an emulated version of "Video Chess," the only chess title released for the vintage console. The result? A humbling defeat for the AI.
Despite its vast computational power, ChatGPT fumbled basic moves, confusing rooks for bishops and missing obvious strategies. "For 90 minutes, I had to stop it from making awful moves and correct its board awareness multiple times per turn," Caruso reported.
This quirky experiment serves as a reminder that large language models, while impressive in many ways, lack true reasoning capabilities. They excel at generating human-like text but falter when faced with tasks requiring strategic thinking – even against technology from the 1970s.
