Human beings can play chess directly without coding up a tool.
- consensus1 11d agoVery poorly compared to the tools we have built. Similar to the LLM.
- thesmtsolver2 11d agoComparing to raw LLMs? Much much better.
- shimman 11d agoPoorly in what sense? I think human chess leagues are way more popular and fun than just playing a computer by yourself. Human oriented communities are always a vastly better experience than their digital counterparts. There's more to games than simply winning you know.
- qarl 11d agoIf they wanted to train an LLM to play chess they could easily do so. But nobody wants that.
- jstanley 11d agoAsking an LLM to play chess by writing algebraic notation is like asking a human to play chess blindfolded. Yes some people can do it but most people can't even if they're unusually intelligent. You really need to be giving the LLM a board representation. EDIT: I see that they actually were giving the LLMs a board representation and they still played badly. Fair enough then.
