ChatGPT Just Got 'Absolutely Wrecked' at Chess, Losing to a 1970s-Era Atari 2600
An engineer's experiment yielded a surprising result for OpenAI's popular chatbot.

By using a software emulator to run Atari's 1979 game Video Chess, Citrix engineer Robert Caruso said he was able to set up a match between ChatGPT and the 46-year-old game. The matchup did not go well for ChatGPT.
"ChatGPT confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were -- first blaming the Atari icons as too abstract, then faring no better even after switching to standard chess notations," Caruso wrote in a LinkedIn post.
"It made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd-grade chess club,"
Sounds like CryGPT.Caruso wrote that the 90-minute match continued badly and that the AI chatbot repeatedly requested that the match start over.
