You could train an AI just to play chess. Sites like chess.com have tens, hundreds of millions of games to use as training data. But the AI isn't "thinking" though, it's just being asked given this input, what's the most likely outputs and picking one based on its settings. Then the other player moves, the context updates, rinse, repeat. Such an AI would likely whoop most people's asses but experienced players might figure how to lead it down a path where it doesn't sufficient training data to play strongly.

But it's not a generalized LLM like ChatGPT where it's picking up a handful of chess games from god knows without knowing or enforcing the rules or anything else.

Likewise I bet we'll see AIs for poker and other lucrative online sports. I bet a lot of online casinos have amassed huge stores of data to produce AIs, as well as players using scraping or logs to do the same. I could even see online casinos running AIs in games because it's a way of taking money from players beyond the normal rake.

That's a very good move! To counter, you should follow these three principles:

  • Prepare a response move that will prevent a future good move.

  • Defend your own pieces and try to attack theirs.

  • Don't be too eager to sacrifice pieces in order to make short term gains.

  • Be prepared to sacrifice an unimportant piece to make a good gain.

If you want to make a good move, try Rook H8 -> G7.

Alt textMe: Knight to C3

ChatGPT: You've played Knight to C3 — a classic developing move! That suggests we’re likely in the early phase of the game, possibly playing something like:

  1. e4 e5 2. Nc3

or perhaps you're playing the English or Reti and going for flexibility.

Let me know the full board state or moves so far if you'd like to continue the game or get commentary!

Chess engines don’t have real difficulties. Every level of the chess engine is designed to make more blunders as the elo gets smaller.

In other works it is programmed to make bad moves in regular intervals. What that means is even on beginner modes when the engine isn’t blundering it is playing perfect chess. This is why it isn’t good to play against chess bots. At best you will learn some pattern recognition but chess puzzles are better at that.

In CoD MW 2 (or maybe Black Ops) the multiplayer AI bots were like this. Obviously all bots are but the kill cams were illuminating. And they didn't even try to make it look human. They'd even use a light machine gun. They'd walk around. Once they see you they'd turn towards you. The only thing the difficulty changed was how fast they turned. Then they'd shoot a single shot at your head. For things like a sniper rifle it looked mostly believable, but that's not how people use machine guns lol. The single shot with the most inaccurate weapon is just dirty lmao.
