People thinking LLMs should be even serviceable at chess didn't understand LLMs. They really aren't problem solving applications. They're optimized for making responses to questions that look like what a response should look like, not for being accurate. That's really clear if you ask them for mathematical proofs. They will generate proofs that look like the right sort of thing, but they won't be correct unless they have the specific proof in their training data.
This is obvious for people who understand the basics of LLM. However, people are fooled by how intelligent these LLM sounds, so they mistake it for actually being intelligent. So, even if this is an open door, I still think it's good someone is kicking it in to make it clear that llms are not generally intelligent.
Agreed, it's good to have these kinds of articles so people get a better feel for what tools like this are and aren't.
