It's a great headline that feeds right in to the rest of the OpenAI drama, which is undoubtedly why it's all over the place. But I'm with you - where are the details?

I find it fascinating that the top two comments (at the moment) are essentially saying "this marketing video is great" and "this marketing video is terrible". Would it be this polarizing if it wasn't Google?

I think it boils more down to this: "I was uncomfortable with how he played because he has a history of cheating so I quit" Which is entirely reasonable, if you think that cheating is an "existential threat" to chess i

True. Approximate skill of the golfer could also be an important factor - the article even mentions three LPGA golfers getting holes-in-one in the same tournament. Presumably they were quite a bit more talented than your average entrant.
