If something has general intelligence it should be able to read the rules of a game and follow them. Therefore an artificial general intelligence (AGI) should be able to do this.

So we have a situation where very powerful and influential people are saying we will have AGI in 6 months (if we don’t already), yet the facts on the ground are so clearly pointing in the opposite direction.

I would bet a lot of money that Astra can follow the rules of chess (perhaps if repeated within the context window). Also, this is a different argument than what I responded to.

So we humans are not a general intelligence then?

And the stuff i'm using LLMs daily is just fake?

I see i see. I will see myself out of this weird discussion while I let an LLM continue doing a lot of interesting things.

    No, because we can, in fact, generally read the rules of a game and then follow them. It's actually a hobby for many of us.

    This misses the point completely.

      How many times do you think chess.com prevents illegal moves from being executed? Even Super GM's fall for mate-in-1's occasionally, which is functionally equivalent to missing a pin or a check. This idea that LLMs failing to only ever make legal moves undermines their intelligence doesn't pass the smell test.
