Oddly just like the text version it is still really bad at tic-tac-toe. Gave it a picture of a completed game and "Who won?" It told me "X won with a vertical line through the middle column" when in fact O won and there was only one X in the middle column.

Very impressive with almost everything else I gave it though.

You can get optimal tic tac toe with painstaking instructions

That is pretty interesting and also I didn't realize you could share chats like that.

That GPT is so bad at tic-tac-toe and relatively good at other games like chess is one of the main things that contributes to me having a lower opinion of its ability to generalize than I would have otherwise.

I think any human with GPT's abilities in chess (but somehow no prior knowledge of ttt) would have zero issue becoming an expert with a single explanation of the game. Even very young children can learn to play ttt well and at least consistently make valid moves if nothing else.
