ChatGPT is in no way 1400, or even close to it. The fact this article gets upvoted around here is proof that people aren't thinking clearly about this stuff. It's trivially easy to prove it wrong. Live unbelievably so, I tried the same prompt and within 12 moves it made multiple ridiculous errors I never would, and then an illegal move.

Keep in mind a 1400 level player would need to basically make 0 mistakes that bad in a typical game, and further would need to play 30-50 moves in that fashion, with the final moves being some of the most important and hard to do. There's just no way it's even close, my guess would be even if you correct it's many errors, it's something like ~200 ELO. Pure FUD.

The author of this article is cashing in the hype and I'm wondering how they even got the results they did.
