    I agree with your general statement, but in theory since all ChatGPT does is regurgitate information back and a lot of chess is memorization of historical games and types, it might actually perform well. No, it can’t think, but it can remember everything so at some point that might tip the results in it’s favor.

      Regurgitating an impression of, not regurgitating verbatim, that’s the problem here.

      Chess is 100% deterministic, so it falls flat.

        I’m guessing it’s not even hard to get it to “confidently” violate the rules.

      I mean it may be possible but the complexity would be so many orders of magnitude greater. It’d be like learning chess by just memorizing all the moves great players made but without any context or understanding of the underlying strategy.
