Messi’s ChatGPT Chess Ad Features Board Setup and Opening Errors

A ChatGPT advertisement featuring Lionel Messi depicts the AI helping the football star learn chess, but the demonstration contains errors, according to Decrypt.

The board shown in the ad has the kings and queens in each other’s starting positions, leaving the pieces incorrectly arranged before play begins.

ChatGPT then recommends an opening that leads to defeat within four moves on that board. The flawed setup and advice undermine the chess lesson portrayed in the advertisement.
