If I was sold a product that can generically solve problems I’d feel a bit ripped off if I’m told after purchase that I need to build my own problem solver and way to recognise it…

But it already hands off plenty of stuff to things like python. How would this be any different.

  • If you mean “uses bin/python to run Python code it wrote” then that’s a bit different to “recognises chess moves and feeds them to Stockfish.”

    If a human said they could code, you don’t expect them to somehow turn into a Python interpreter and execute it in their brain. If a human said they could play chess, I’d raise an eyebrow if they just played the moves Stockfish gave them against me.
