Attempting to badly quote someone on another post: « How can people honestly think a glorified word autocomplete function could be able to understand what is a logarithm? »
This is so stupid and pointless…
“Thing not made to solve spesific task fails against thing made for it…”
This is like saying that a really old hand pushed lawn mower is better then a SUV at cutting grass…
SUVs aren’t marketed as grass mowers. LLMs are marketed as AI with all the answers.
I’d be interested in seeing marketing of ChatGPT as a competitive boardgame player. Is there any?
Not necessarily that AI is marketed as a competitive board game player, but that AI is marketed as intelligence. This helps illustrate how clueless it really is.
There are plenty of geniuses out there who aren’t great at board games. Using a tool not fit for task is more of an issue with the person using the wrong tool than an issue with the tool itself.
I do get where you’re coming from though. There are definitely people who don’t understand why a ChatBot wouldn’t be good at chess.
Do you expect rocket scientists to be good at chess?
Intelligence doesn’t mean it’s blanket smart. This is entirely on individual people for this asinine assumption. It’s never been marketed that way, so why in this singular case is the definition suddenly different? The general public understands this isn’t some be all end all. This assumptive attitude that Lemmy has is fucking weird.
The general public understands this isn’t some be all end all.
I disagree.
Got a link? Because people just think it’s cool, not that it’s gonna be this thing that can do everything.
So there must be some place people are getting this “it can do everything” idea from? It’s more an anti-ai propaganda angle, and that’s prevalent mainly on Lemmy. So a source to back up this “ai can do anything” please.
Tradition dictates that the first claimant bears responsibility for the link.
I would expect anyone claiming to be intelligent to be able to beat an Atari 2600 set to its very lowest difficulty. This is a task on par with counting the number of Rs in the word ‘strawberry’, something the intelligent ChatGPT also famously cannot do.
It’s actually not that easy. Fire up an emulator and take it for a spin. Like, you won’t get away with obvious mistakes.
First try. I did make a few mistakes, but the 2600 made more.
Do you think being good at chess is equivalent to intelligence…?
Those are also vastly different tasks, a toddler can count, while they likely can’t play chess.
You have a very strange notion of what “intelligence” means.
A toddler untrained at counting and untrained at chess would be good at neither. Same goes for adults, you are untrained in rocket physics, so you won’t be good at it either. Why are you holding an ai at some weird ungodly bar that doesn’t apply to anything else? No one’s claimed it to be good at these things. Adults who can’t swim and go in water drown, why? Because they weren’t taught. Notice a pattern yet?
It’s the beginner difficulty on very weak hardware. It’s designed to be easily beatable even if you don’t know much about chess.
These tools are marketed as replacing lots of jobs that are a hell of a lot more complex than a simple board game.

There isn’t really a single sliding scale of “complexity” when it comes to certain tasks.
Given the appropriate input, a calculator can divide two numbers. But it can’t count the number of R’s in the word “strawberry”.
Meanwhile, a script that could count the number of instances of a letter in a word could count those R’s, but it couldn’t divide any two numbers.
Similarly, we didn’t complain that a typewriter couldn’t put pepperoni slices onto a pizza.
Hear hear.
Source?
Made people click though didnt it.
My 2€ calculator obliterates a 200.000€ ferrari doing multiplications.
In other news: My toaster makes better toast than my vacuum.
If ChatGPT were marketed as a toaster nobody would bat an eye. The reason so many are laughing is because ChatGPT is marketed as a general intelligence tool.
Do you have any OpenAI stuff (ad, interview, presentation…) That claims it’s AGI? Because I’ve never seen such thing, only people hyping it for clicks and ad revenue
I was very careful not to use the term AGI for this reason. General intelligence tool isn’t the same thing. It’s a much weaker claim, yet it’s also a far stronger claim than any purpose-built software. The ambiguity is part of their marketing strategy.
Question remains. Any marketing about it being general intelligence? Not general use, but general intelligence.
No, though there’s been plenty of marketing where they claim “we know how to build AGI.”
They have marketed ChatGPT as a general purpose AI from the very beginning, though the question of how to leverage that has remained open.
Your vacuum uses more power than a 150,000-person city just to clean an 8’ square rug?
That does suck.
Heh.
Is this just because gibbity couldn’t recognize the chess pieces? I’d love to believe this is true otherwise, love my 2600 haha.
At first it blamed its poor performance on the icons used, but then they switched to chess notation and it still failed hard
That is baffling
Man all these people coping, I thought chatgpt was supposed to be a generic one able to do anything?
It depends. Have you used it? If not - Yes! It does do . . . all the things.
If you have used it, I’m sorry that was incorrect. You simply need to pay for the upgraded subscription. Oh, and as a trusted insider now we can let you in on a secret - the next version of this thing is gonna be, like, wow! Boom shanka! Everyone else will be so far behind!
You know, when you put it like that, it kind of sounds like Scientology…
That’s on them for taking on the Atari 2600, where “the games don’t get older, they get better!”
If llms are statistics based, wouldn’t there be many many more losing games than perfectly winning ones? It’s like Dr strange saying ‘this is the only way’.
It’s not even that. It’s not a chess AI or a AGI (which doesn’t exist). It will speak and pretend to play, but has no memory of the exact position of the pieces nor the capability to plan several steps ahead. For ask intended and porpoises, it’s like asking my toddler what’s the time (she always says something that sounds like a time, but doesn’t understand the concept of hours or what the time is)
The fact that somebody posted this on LinkedIn and not only wasn’t shamed out of his job but there are several articles about it is truly infuriating.
True AI does not and will not exist

Little disappointed more people didn’t get this.
in other words, a hammer “got absolutely wrecked” by a handsaw in a board-halving competition
When all you have (or you try to convince others that all they need) is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I guess this shows that it isn’t.
Clearly you didn’t swing the hammer hard enough
One of those Fisher-Price plastic hammers with the hole in the handle?
