In a recent experiment, OpenAI's ChatGPT, specifically the latest GPT-4o model, was challenged to a chess match against an Atari 2600 console from the 1970s. Despite its advanced AI capabilities, ChatGPT was decisively defeated by the nearly 48-year-old gaming system, highlighting unexpected limitations in its chess-playing abilities. The developer who organized the contest noted that ChatGPT made enough errors to be compared to a third-grade chess club player. This outcome has drawn attention to the current boundaries of AI in strategic games. Meanwhile, OpenAI has simultaneously enhanced ChatGPT's search functionality with a June 13 update, introducing smarter, more comprehensive responses, improved instruction-following, automatic multi-search for complex queries, and the ability to perform web searches using uploaded images. These upgrades aim to improve ChatGPT's overall utility despite its shortcomings in specific tasks like chess.
