    This is so stupid and pointless…

    “Thing not made to solve spesific task fails against thing made for it…”

    This is like saying that a really old hand pushed lawn mower is better then a SUV at cutting grass…

        I’d be interested in seeing marketing of ChatGPT as a competitive boardgame player. Is there any?

          These tools are marketed as replacing lots of jobs that are a hell of a lot more complex than a simple board game.

            These tools are marketed as replacing lots of jobs that are a hell of a lot more complex than a simple board game.

            There isn’t really a single sliding scale of “complexity” when it comes to certain tasks.

            Given the appropriate input, a calculator can divide two numbers. But it can’t count the number of R’s in the word “strawberry”.

            Meanwhile, a script that could count the number of instances of a letter in a word could count those R’s, but it couldn’t divide any two numbers.

            Similarly, we didn’t complain that a typewriter couldn’t put pepperoni slices onto a pizza.
