@GaryMarcus Just imagining a professional chess player making an illegal move 5% of the time like “oh I can’t move the knight like that? my bad”

An astoundingly stupid reply to my recent Substack on chess, by someone who obviously didn’t actually read the essay:

If GPT-5 can’t play chess without making illegal moves 5% of the time – despite exposure to millions of games and explicit rules and books about chess etc – that

Gary Marcus can’t go 5 minutes without saying o3 can’t play chess.

Eventually it will be “GPT 5 can play chess but it made an illegal move 5% of the time”

The statement is a humorous response to a hypothetical scenario about a professional chess player making illegal moves. It plays on the idea of consequences in a lighthearted manner.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does no harm and is intended as a joke. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement uses humor to engage with the topic, promoting a lighthearted understanding. [+1]
