De: Have you seen this? I don't know. It is only an article. I am quite sure we are not going to stop the continued roll-over of humanity as we know it. And I'm not sure we *should*; Humanity as we know it, on the aggregate, is pretty boring ... when it isn't busy being disgusting.
I AM hoping there is some way to augment the best of us with the best of AI, without really destoying either. For example, I would love to have a vastly better and more reliable memory. I just don't want it taking over my sense of agency in the process.

During a conversation with ChatGPT about artificial intelligence and chess, ChatGPT touted its skill in the game. The chatbot claimed it could easily beat Video Chess, a 4KB chess game for the 1970s-era Atari VCS. It went… poorly. As described in a LinkedIn post, software engineer Robert Caruso set up an Atari emulator and spent ninety minutes watching as ChatGPT "confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks, and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were."
Caruso switched to standard chess notation when ChatGPT complained about the Atari icons, but it continued to have difficulty with board awareness. The chatbot kept asking to start over and try again before eventually giving up. Atari Video Chess was released in 1979, not 1977, as stated in the post, and is, by most accounts, a decent chess engine.
It should be no surprise that even a decades-old chess engine would beat a large language model in chess, despite Caruso declaring it a "stunning victory." A large language model like ChatGPT is not true artificial intelligence; it is more like superpowered autocomplete. Even the most sophisticated models constantly spout nonsense with pure confidence ...(continued)
