If humans were actually intelligent, they wouldn't need to train and practice to play good chess. I mean, what level do you think people without any practice or training are ?

Except all these LLMs were already trained with hundreds of chess book and game databases and they still suck
If all you do is read chess books, you'll be a shit player. Training and practice is what it takes to be great.
Oh right. But if all you do is reading programming books you are an amazing programmer? Where is all the training and practice LLMs did to become so good at coding?

WTF even is this post?
Contrary to popular belief, you need a lot of training on something for an LLM to be good and consistent with it.
People think that if one mention exists in the training set, then the LLM is perfect at it.
Not one mention. Hundreds of books, articles and databases of games.
OpenAI making the next model good at chess is not analogous to a human training to get good at chess. It is analogous to God creating Human 2.0 which now has increased chess playing ability. If LLMs were intelligent the way humans are, then the models that exist right now would be able to spend time improving themselves at chess and become good at it. They can't do this because they are not, in fact, intelligent.
