If I wanted an AI summary, I'd put the article into my favourite LLM and ask for one.

I'm sure LLMs can take links sometimes.

And if Wikipedia wanted to include it directly into the site...make it a button, not an insertion.

I dunno, I some of the same junk and oft-repeated lines decades ago. We literally have a phrase for it: "Old wives' tales".

Having taught "kids these days", I have still seen independent and creative thought in the majority of them.

These tools are marketed as replacing lots of jobs that are a hell of a lot more complex than a simple board game.

There isn't really a single sliding scale of "complexity" when it comes to certain tasks.

Given the appropriate input, a calculator can divide two numbers. But it can't count the number of R's in the word "strawberry".

Meanwhile, a script that could count the number of instances of a letter in a word could count those R's, but it couldn't divide any two numbers.

Similarly, we didn't complain that a typewriter couldn't put pepperoni slices onto a pizza.

Alienation can result from actions of individuals, yes.

This isn't much different from what teachers said about the internet, search engines, and Wikipedia...

This community is "FuckCars", not "FuckMen". There are plenty of men here who are here because "Fuck Cars". I don't think that alienating the men of this community will do any good.

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.

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

That is more a failure of the person who made that decision than a failing of ChatBots, lol

Because people want to feel superior because they ~~don't know how to use a ChatBot~~ can count the number of "r"s in the word "strawberry", lol

Going forward? RetroAchievements, Steam, GOG, and LaunchBox to tie it all together. PSN trophy integration to LaunchBox would be cool too, because PS3 stuff is never coming to any of those platforms and I have history there, too.

For historical stuff, that's in my memory exclusively.

The first console with a framebuffer was the 3DO. The first console people cared about with a framebuffer was the PSX.

I cared about the 3DO...

Thanks for the info though!
