Chat GPT

Most of you probably heard of Chat GPT by openai.com. There are a lot of posts over the internet, about the incredible abilities of this model. 

I wonder, how it will change the way we learn how to play chess. A lot of times one would want to have a deeper understanding behind a certain move. Chess.com engine actually tries to do it.

But here I am, asking the Chat GPT whether it is a good idea to play 4.g3 in Kings Indian Defense.

Result? You judge.

It's not a chat forum. It's AI chat engine that answers your questions/performs your request, practically on every topic in the world.

The AI doesn't sound ready to replace a chess coach. ChatGPT is wrong too much to be reliable but it's fluent and always talks with confidence which worked for Trump I guess lol

I actually tried playing with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT ended up resigning with the following message:

"I'm sorry, as a language model AI, I don't have the ability to keep track of the game state, it would be best to continue playing with a chess software or with a human opponent. I apologize if my mistakes caused inconvenience, please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with."

"It's important to find a balance between playing against bots and humans. Playing against bots can provide a consistent level of challenge and help you practice specific skills, whereas playing against humans can help you learn to adapt to different playing styles and improve your overall chess understanding.

It's also important to keep in mind that playing chess regularly, regardless of whether you're playing against bots or humans, is important for maintaining and improving your chess skills.

Playing one game against a bot every day can certainly help you improve your chess skills, but it may not be enough to see significant improvement in a short period of time. Consistently playing chess, whether it's against a bot or a human opponent, is important for maintaining and improving your chess skills.

Playing one game a day against a bot can help you practice specific skills and learn new strategies and tactics. However, to see significant improvement you may want to consider increasing the frequency of your games, or incorporating additional forms of chess training such as studying openings, endgames, or reviewing your own or grandmaster's games.

Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that improvement in chess, like in any skill, requires time and consistent practice. Playing one game a day is a good start, but it's also important to keep in mind that progress takes time, and it's important to be patient with yourself as you work to improve your chess skills."

Chat gpt is a good idea for chess, but AI gets board after 1 hour. 

I do like ChatGPT and for some technical topics it was really useful. But the first time I asked it about something chess-related, it made several mistakes (or should I say blunders?)

How did you play it??? I'm on the website but it doesn't let me play

ChatGPT mostly spills nonsense on any topic, it is not to be trusted. Its game against Stockfish was pure wizardry and hilarious, though. 

It's a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of what ChatGPT is and what it can actually do to suggest that it would be helpful with chess.  It has no working memory, it's a fancy auto-complete that relies on a huge input database where it doesn't actually produce knowledge, it just scrapes what other people have said.

If you want to use it for giggles, sure, go for it.  But never use ChatGPT for anything that requires actual facts because you will mostly only ever humiliate yourself or worse, gain wrong knowledge that you build off of creating an entirely wrong worldview piece by piece.  The fact that it can be right is meaningless when it's a crapshoot if what it is saying is true or BS.

It really concerns me that people don't seem to understand how the AI functions and think it is actually "smart" or even "knowledgeable" when it's not even as compelling as a mechanical turk, at least that had an actual human.

ChessGPT is horrible

Yes it uses info gathered off the internet pre 2021. It was trained by humans. This is one of the first of its kind though. I think that we should be excited for the future. I use chat gpt to help me solve problems alot in my day to day life ATM. But like you have stated here people can embarrass themselves if they put too much stock in the answers given. I think chatgpt is amazing and shows a bright future for society. IMO(I'm only here because I just found out about chessgpt)

It seems that the AI has updated to refuse playing by default. You can still, however, force it to play if you ask the correct way. I did mine like this:

You just input your moves and translate them into the board. The AI would occasionally play illegal moves so you would need to correct it every once in a while, or if want some LOLs, just play along with it.

And here's another game, this time ChatGPT playing black... against stockfish depth 1.

I also made a bot that uses stockfish to decide what the worst move is... here's a game of Stockfish 10 vs Anti Stockfish 10... and in perfect coordination, they pull off a fool's mate.

I've improved the ChatGPT player slightly (I think) by also giving it the list of moves that have been played so far. It seems to do a tiny bit better in the opening now:
