    ChatGPT's commentary on its moves is great. "I captured your pawn on d5 with my knight, creating a double attack on both your queen and the newly captured pawn." Even top human grandmasters rarely see the potential of attacking pieces that have already been captured.

I’m not a huge fan of Levy’s teaching style (I really like Nelson, NM….. teaching and playing are very different skills says me, a retired teacher LOL), but gotta give credit where it is due. As for Ben, he’s entertaining but not a great teacher. Good, not great.

    I am a robotics engineer and use ML in my job. Saying that chatGPT is an AI for everything is incorrect. It's a language model, it is basically a sophisticated parrot (although a parrot is probably smarter in terms of general intelligence). It can't play chess because it doesn't understand what chess is. There's no actual intelligence behind it, it's just a text predictor that is good and figuring out what words go well as answers to the words you're feeding in.

    I think the important thing about analyzing with an engine is the fact it will point out lines you hadn't considered, especially much better lines and for both sides. And very quickly at that. The engine doesn't need to be all that much better than you for this purpose.

    In the explorer it doesnt show the most common, but rather the position. If there are transpositions its hard to tell what move is actually common.

    Surprisingly, almost nothing said was wrong. Stockfish is indeed much better than Leela, which is much better than AlphaZero was back when it still existed (it was short-lived like Deep Blue). Also Stockfish and Leela are indeed both free.
    The one thing he missed is that modern Stockfish ("Stockfish NNUE") now incorporates neural nets as well, although to a lesser degree than the other two.

    @gregorymorse8423 9 місяців тому

    StockFish is likely the best based on the most objective measures available namely 100 or ideally more games in various forced openings and free openings. At very small time settings, there might be special engine builds that could do better e.g. milliseconds or microseconds. That it is free and open source and has advanced heuristics specially for evaluating chess postitions also neural networks and a large developer community is even better.

    If I understood it correctly, chatgpt has an issue with something called object permanence. It dosen't understand, that there were physical objects simulated who have implications on the movement of the pieces. Chatgpts core is a statistical word prediction algorithm. By this, it generates a reaction based on the last interaction, partly independently of what had happened before. It also explains partly the moves it played against Ben. The most played opening is e4 going into the italian or spanish. So statistically the e pawn has already moved when you play Bb5. In the same manner, usually - most likely - there is a knight on c6, so there is no issue with the bishop being attacked by a pawn. The algorithm dosen't comprehend, that the situation has changed and how this influences the required response. It's a statistical tool, not a linear.

    Just a little history about Alpha Zero. The type of AI that it uses can have its calculation time accelerated on graphics cards. Long story short, a graphics card has hundreds of tiny processors (whereas your processor has maybe 2-20), and it helps that kind of AI crunch numbers to find an answer.
    The trick the Open AI team did when they beat Stockfish, which only runs on CPUs, is they had their famous matches with Stockfish using a CPU (way less computing power per unit time) versus Alpha Zero running on a GPU (way more computation per unit time). In that sense, Stockfish had a clear compute disadvantage. This would be like having Stockfish with 30 minutes of compute time play Stockfish with 10 minutes of compute time and then be like, "Wow, Stockfish is better than Stockfish."
    I have to be fair and admit Alpha Zero uses a different technique than Stockfish, and it was still impressive. I'm just not sure if, with the computation the same, it would have actually beaten Stockfish. Alpha Zero got a lot of wins in closed positions where having more compute lets the engine see further.
    More or less, they structured the tournament to where Alpha Zero would surely win.
    There are chess engine tournament organizations, and they run Leela Zero on CPU mode (even though it can run on a GPU to get accelerated just like Alpha Zero). It still does a great job as it's a strong engine, but Stockfish is still king over it. Plus, Stockfish integrated a bit of that AI magic in newer versions, making it even stronger. That's what that NNUE thing is all about. That's stockfish using an AI model to evaluate positions. It's a much more lightweight AI model than the one Alpha or Leela Zero use, but it still outperformed the old evaluation model that was handwritten by humans.

    Im not an expert, but ChatGPT is just working with a practically endless source of text and doing analysis on that huge amount of info, and coughs up stuff that *look like* a reasonable answer to your questions.
    ChatGPT playing chess is chaotic because it doesnt actually play chess, it just coughs up random algebraic notations, because for its text-analysing algorithms, chess is nothing more than random letters and random squares named after each other.
