Chess-GPT's Internal World Model
There is a very interesting project on this exact problem called Maia, which trains an engine based on millions of human games played on Lichess, specifically targeting varying levels of skill from 1300 to 1900 Elo. I haven't played it myself, by my understanding is that it does a much better job imitating the mistakes of human players. https://maiachess.com
- A chess terminal user interface implementation
- Interested in going to my first tournament and was wondering if there is a place where I can review players classical games around 1700 rating so I can get an idea of what is expected and their strengths?

Scientists claim >99 percent identification rate of ChatGPT content
In general the goal of these progrms is to win, not to pretend to be human.
In chess, there is a project called Maia which aims at predicting the human move rather than the best move. Even then it blunders less than humans of a similar rating, so it can still be detected.
