ChatGPT gets crushed at chess by a 1 MHz Atari 2600
Editor's take: Despite being hailed as the next step in the evolution of artificial intelligence, large language models are no smarter than a piece of rotten wood. Every now and then, some odd experiment or test reminds everyone that so-called "intelligent" AI doesn't actually exist if you're living outside a tech company's quarterly report.

Manners are not ruining the environment: The costs of training and running artificial intelligence model are massive. Even excluding everything but electricity, AI data centers burn through over $100 million a year to process user prompts and model outputs. So, does saying "please" and "thank you" to ChatGPT really cost OpenAI millions? Short answer: probably not.
