   Google Gemini just lost a chess match with an Atari 2600 from the Ordovician Era.

   The Atari 2600 had 128 bytes of RAM.
   
   That is not a typo.

     @Some_German_Guy @Aether AI is trained to talk like it knows how to play chess. Basically an actor, pretending to be a grossmeister. An in terms of pattern recognition, it might have less "memory" to fit multiple moves, than atari.

     @Aether this is not surprising in the slightest.
     the chess computer is purpose build to play chess, while the google program is supposed to do as many things as possible.
     remember how long it took for people to reliably beat chess comupters.
     yes the arati is not deep blue, but the principle is the same.
