Don’t: use LLMs to play chess against you

Do: use LLMs to talk shit to you while a real chess AI plays chess against you.

The above applies to a lot of things besides chess, and illustrates a proper application of LLMs.

Are you suggesting that we use an LLM as an interface between the AI and the player?

Why would anyone choose to awkwardly play using natural language rather than a reliable, fast and intuitive UI?

		No, I think they're suggesting the LLM should literally be "talking shit", e.g. in a chat window alongside the game UI, as if you're in a live chat with another player. As in, use the LLM for processing language, and the chess engine for playing chess. I think this is quite an amusing idea, as the LLM would see the moves the chess engine made and comment along the lines of "wow, I didn't see that one coming!" very Roger Sperry.
