I don't understand why people don't think this is noteworthy. Would it be noteworthy if it this game (whether or not it existed before) were designed and implemented by someone who has very limited experience with software development in a few hours? Well, the fact that ChatGPT did this means the former is now a very real possibility. That you can go from conceptual inception of a framework to a fairly complete product in a few hours with very little experience is a big deal.

> why people don't think this is noteworthy. Because the game has existed for centuries. ChatGPT claiming ownership is nothing new, either. The current top post even links an android app that does the same.

  I haven't been able to find any reference to this puzzle other than the app on the play store linked elsewhere in this thread. ARe you sure that i) This exact puzzle predates the app ii) A description of the rules appears in the training set

  So what is the criticism here? Lichess and chess.com both exist. does the existence of one make the other worthless? unimpressive?

    If one of them claimed to have invented chess, then that claim would indeed be worth criticizing.

I think the trouble is that ChatGPT's output made it sound as though it had invented the game, which is noteworthy on its own. That it also coded it up itself is pretty amazing, but it's overshadowed by the false more amazing claim that it invented it.

  > That it also coded it up itself is pretty amazing I haven't tried to replicate the author's journey, but in my experience it requires a considerable amount of hand-holding. e.g. Functions will be stubbed out, but contain no logic. I was able to guide it through a "playable" flappy bird, bit it took several revisions where I pointed out what was wrong/needed to be done before it truly returned a functional error-free prototype. It felt like pair-programming with a promising and apologetic junior dev.
