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.

Most human engine to play against?
Maia Chess

Do you have to buy Maia to use it offline?
It's on GitHub, you just need an interface like Nibbler.

Anyone know if there are chess AIs trained like chatGPT, as a move predictor instead of a move maximizer as most have been (I think)?
That's exactly what Maia Chess is designed to do. https://maiachess.com/

Interested in creating, playing and testing your own chess engine?
you can have a look at openbench maybe, https://github.com/AndyGrant/OpenBench . It is currently a testing framework for chess engines (only invited ones) or fishtest. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests Stockfish testing framework. Both of these test if change A beats the master version using statistics. Both look at the git repository and download it and create/compile the engine, that might be another solution for you.

~20TBs on Striped Hard Drives / RAID0: What kind of hardware to support this setup?
FishTest has thousands of computers running 24/7 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests. Nerds at gcp,aws,universities burn thousands of GPU hours on lc0-client just to watch their GPUs warm up. They aren't just attaching 20tb of endgames to an old macbook.

Does (human + computer) combo beat computer?
if removing any rng from stockfish would gain elo it would be merged. If you think it gains elo feel free to submit a test to https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests , but it doesn't so what your saying makes no sense.

What are some chess960 positions that are winning for white
Where did you get these numbers from? https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/wiki/Regression-Tests shows an elo difference of 351.3 elo points. This is further exaggerated by the fact that sf9 lacks nnue and is particularly weak at the starting position and consequently 960 starting positions.
