SUVs aren't marketed as grass mowers. LLMs are marketed as AI with all the answers.

I'd be interested in seeing marketing of ChatGPT as a competitive boardgame player. Is there any?

Not necessarily that AI is marketed as a competitive board game player, but that AI is marketed as intelligence. This helps illustrate how clueless it really is.

There are plenty of geniuses out there who aren't great at board games. Using a tool not fit for task is more of an issue with the person using the wrong tool than an issue with the tool itself.

I do get where you're coming from though. There are definitely people who don't understand why a ChatBot wouldn't be good at chess.
