This playable Meccano version of Atari's Lunar Lander is a mechanical marvel.

Andrew Liszewski Lego may have long ago surpassed the popularity of Meccano but Pete Wood demonstrates why the over 100 year old mechanical building toy still has devoted fans. Meccano Martian Mission is a recreation of the 1979 Atari game Lunar Lander but without any screens. It's an entirely mechanical creation with levers and dials used to control the thrust of a landing craft trying to safely touch down on a recreation of Mars' rugged terrain scrolling by.

AI versus Atari: ChatGPT gets ‘wrecked' in chess match against vintage gaming console

OpenAI's ChatGPT has been pitted against other major AI chatbots in the market such as Google's Gemini or Anthropic's Claude. But what happens when ChatGPT goes head-to-head with a 46-year-old video game console in a game of chess. That is exactly what an engineer recently set out to do. Robert Caruso, who works at cloud computing company Citrix, said that he designed an experiment in which ChatGPT squared off against Atari 2600, which was first released back in 1977. Caruso said that he used a software emulator to set up run the 1979 Atari video game called Video Chess. The match between ChatGPT and the gaming system surprisingly did not go well for the AI chatbot, according to Caruso. 'ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked at the beginner level. It made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd-grade chess club,' Caruso wrote in a LinkedIn post. 'Despite being given a baseline board layout to identify pieces, ChatGPT confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were — first blaming the Atari icons as too abstract, then faring no better even after switching to standard chess notations,' he added. He also said that the AI chatbot repeatedly requested to start the match over during the 90-minute contest. While the experiment does not definitively indicate that ChatGPT lacks the intelligence to play chess, it seems to suggest that the AI chatbot cannot be used for that specific purpose as it is a chatbot that may be better suited to analyse or discuss chess moves. It is also unclear whether Caruso conducted the experiment with GPT-4o as the default large language model (LLM) or chose one of OpenAI's reasoning models such as o1, o3, or o4-mini which are supposedly trained to solve complex problems by breaking them down into steps. Experiments assessing AI systems based on their ability to defeat humans at chess is not entirely new. In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue technology grabbed headlines by defeating chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in several matches. In 2016, Google DeepMind's AlphaGo made history by becoming the first computer programme to defeat a world champion at the ancient Chinese game of Go. Following the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, a developer created a plugin called ChessGPT so that users could play chess with the chatbot. However, a recent study by Palisade Research found that AI reasoning models such as OpenAI's o1-preview and DeepSeek R1 don't always concede when sensing defeat in a match against a skilled chess bot. Instead, the models that were tested opted to cheat by hacking its opponent so that the bot automatically forfeits the game.

ChatGPT took on a 50-year-old Atari — and lost

ChatGPT, arguably the world's most popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, was humbled by a 50-year-old chess console. The Atari 2600 , first launched in 1977, outperformed ChatGPT in a recent experiment to the point that the AI chatbot conceded. The experiment was set up by cloud computing engineer Robert Jr. Caruso after ChatGPT itself insisted on playing chess against an Atari following a conversation about AI in chess. OpenAI 's chatbot "claimed it was a strong player in its own right and would easily beat Atari's Video Chess", Caruso said in a LinkedIn post. He expected it to be "a lighthearted stroll down retro memory lane" for the AI.

Meanwhile, Atari 2600 sports an 8-bit, 1.1 MHz CPU which could only think 1–2 moves ahead. Live Events ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked on the beginner level, Caruso wrote.

At others, it made absurd suggestions — like sacrificing a knight to a pawn — or tried to move pieces that had already been captured, even during turns when it otherwise had an accurate view of the board, Caruso wrote. He said he had to stop ChatGPT from making awful moves and correct its board awareness multiple times per turn over 90 minutes. The modern tech kept promising it would improve 'if we just started over.' Eventually, it conceded the challenge to Atari. Technology has been better at chess than humans since the IBM Deep Blue supercomputer defeated the erstwhile champion and renowned grandmaster Gary Kasparov in 1997. The latest Stockfish chess engine have an estimated 3,600 points on the Elo chess ranking system, whereas the current world number one Magnus Carlsen has the highest rating among humans at around 2,800. One response to Caruso's post argued that ChatGPT does not employ artificial general intelligence (AGI), and only emulates human examples. Thus, it was unfair to test it in a game of logic like chess. Another pointed out that ChatGPT is not a chess engine, unlike Atari 2600, which despite being archaic, tracks the board and formulates moves.
