You’re trying to avoid addressing my point. What can GPT do that’s interesting without a human in the loop doing the prompting?
Lol “very poor”. You’re attempting to argue that if there’s any output at all in response to an input prompt, then GPT is “trying” and showing signs of intelligence, no matter what the output is. By this logic, you contradicted yourself: the chess engine can play checkers, poorly. By this logic, asking the sky to play a game means the sky is trying because it changes, or asking a random number generator to play a game means it resembles an attempt to play because there is “very poor” output.
There are lots of games GPT can’t play, like hide-and-seek, tag, and tennis. Playing a game means playing by the rules of the game, giving coherent output, and trying to win. GPT can’t play games it hasn’t seen before, and no I don’t agree that “very poor” output counts. It doesn’t (currently) learn the rules from your prompts; you can’t teach it to play a new game by talking to it, and the “very poor” output from a game it wasn’t trained on will never improve. And, to my actual point, GPT will not play any games at all unless you ask it to.
