"That only plausibly looks like a chess move" I sneer as Stockfish absolutely destroys me

Not to dunk, but this is anti-anthropomorphising ad absurdum. LLMs don't output "something that plausibly looks like a sentence", they output sentences. Torturous phrasing doesn't serve clarity.

Maybe this is a circular argument, but I think "looking like a chess move" is sufficient for actually being a chess move more than the same for sentences. (Though sometimes "looking like a sentence" is adequate for the task at hand)

I'm curious, why are sentences different in your mind?

Short answer: chess is code Chess is not, fundamentally, expressive. A player may have a certain style as with anything else, but the primary thing determining a chess move is analysis of the position, and producing coherent language is more than that

As I said, I'm open to the idea I'm making a circular argument here
