How much do you want to bet that an LLM with the ability to search the web and write python scripts would smoke the best humans at chess and MTG?
How comforting is it really when it’s not the bare LLM beating you, but the LLM using tools it created?

Even if that were true, humans don't need to search the web and write python scripts to play a competitive game of MTG.

No. The current frontier models would not beat the best humans at MTG, even with Python scripts and web search. Unlike Chess, there are no existing engines that beat humans.
I too could smoke the best humans at chess if I was allowed to search the web and write python scripts.
That makes me a good engineer, but not good at chess, and definitely not super intelligent.
