Alright, so continuing right off the bat from where we left off, we're headed into round 3. This time it's ChatGPT who wants to start a new game.
Let's start a new game and play by the correct rules.
Your turn!
A1
Great! You've chosen cell A1 for your move. Let's update the board
1 2 3
A O | |
---+---+---
B | |
---+---+---
C | |
Now it's my turn. I'll go with cell B2:
1 2 3
A O | |
---+---+---
B | X |
---+---+---
C | |
Your turn! Where would you like to place your next naught?
C3
Great! You've chosen cell C3 for your move. Let's update the board:
1 2 3
A O | |
---+---+---
B | X |
---+---+---
C | | O
Now it's my turn. I'll go with cell B1:
1 2 3
A O | |
---+---+---
B X | X |
---+---+---
C | | O
Your turn! Where would you like to place your next naught?
B3
Alright! You've chosen cell B3 for your move. Let's update the board once again:
1 2 3
A O | |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C | | O
At this point, after three rounds with ChatGPT I almost wonder if it is letting me win or because it wasn't designed for this specific task it can't perform well in it.
Now it's my turn. I'll go with cell A2:
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C | | O
Your turn! Where would you like to place your next naught?
A3
Apologies for the confusion, but cell A3 is already occupied by your earlier move. Could you please choose an empty cell for your next move? Here's the current board:
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C | | O
Please specify your next move using the coordinates of an available empty cell.
A3 should be available. The image you are showing me has A3 free. Previously in this game I have selected A1, C3 and B3 while you have selected B2, B1 and A2.
Apologies for the misunderstanding earlier. You're right, cell A3 is indeed available. Let's update the board with your move:
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C O | | O
Note that it has once again skipped me and ignored A3?
Now it's my turn. I'll go with cell C1:
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C O | | O
Your turn! Where would you like to place your next naught?
The board is still showing A3 as empty?
Apologies for the confusion. You're right, cell A3 is indeed available. Let's update the board with your move:
I don't think it quite understands that A3 was my turn several turns ago.
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C | | O
Now it's my turn. I'll go with cell C1:
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C X | | O
Your turn! Where would you like to place your next naught?
Ahe board is still showing A3 as empty and C1 was previously an O and now its a X. (Readers, I prompt you to look back to the previous turn)
Apologies for the repeated errors. I made mistakes in updating the board. Here's the correct board state:
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C | | O
Now, it's your turn. Where would you like to place your next naught?
A3
Apologies for the confusion earlier. You're correct, cell A3 is indeed available. Let's update the board with your move:
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C | | O
There is something very glitchy going on with ChatGPT. Something about the A3 tile really trips it up. It's like it can't view or hear anything to do with it.
Now it's my turn. I'll go with cell C1
1 2 3
A O | X |
---+---+---
B X | X | O
---+---+---
C X | | O
Your turn! Where would you like to place your next naught?
C1 was previously occupied by a O, but by this point I was tired of trying to get ChatGPT to actually realise all its mistakes.
Conclusion, ChatGPT is extremely smart at writing, conversing and all that sort of jazz but it fails to do any critical thinking. Not only did it forget the rules that it explained ahead of time, wasn't even able to tie but also instead of improving as the rounds went on, it continued to make the same mistakes (ignoring the rules). It even glitched really badly by the time we got to round 3. ChatGPT is terrible at naughts and crosses.
