The fact that rules and articles exist describing what to do if you or your opponent makes an illegal move indicates this is not the case.
Humans are also... human. They make mistakes. It may not happen often at 1400, but to say that it'll never happen is preposterous.
The bar isn’t “I didn’t make an illegal move this morning” it’s “something a 1400 ranked player would never do”.
My entire point is that it happens. Not often, but also not “never”.
Edit: Without reading everything again, I'll assume someone said "never." They're probably assuming the reader understands that "never" really means "with an infinitesimal probability," since we're talking about humans. If you're trying to argue that "some 1400 player has made an illegal move at some point," then I agree with that statement, and I also think it's irrelevant since the frequency of illegal moves made by ChatGPT compared to the frequency of illegal moves made by a 1400 rated player is many orders of magnitudes higher.

I mean, yes they were and they said as much after I called them out on it. But go off on how nobody is arguing the literal thing that was being argued.
It's not like messages are threaded or something, and read top-down. You would have 100% had to read the comment I replied to first.
Because all I'm hearing is talk about ChatGPT's abilities as a reply to me calling out an extreme statement as being extreme. Something the parent comment even admitted as being overly black and white.
If I was playing that monstrosity though I would play something crazy that is far out of the opening book and count on it making an illegal move.

No, it's ridiculous to say "oh, a blindfolded human might sometimes make a mistake." No, this is trivially easy to make it make a mistake. It has no internal chess model at all, it's just read enough chess games to be able to copy common patterns.
