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.
