How to Play against Lower Rated Opponents Part 1: Know your Advantage

@HumbleHardMan Yeah it is. It's not the first time AI images have been used for lichess blogs. Tthe messed up fingers are a dead giveaway lol. But I think it's kinda cool honestly to be able to make interesting graphics like that for things like blog posts and whatnot.
In that same note, the comment by @iamveryrich is also obviously AI generated, I'm surprised nobody's pointed it out yet. I'm 99% certain that it was written by ChatGPT specifically.
A slight rant:
Personally I don't think that people should be allowed to post AI generated comments, here or anywhere. Comment sections are for humans to discuss ideas with other humans. If I wanted ChatGPT or any other LLM's opinion, I would go to a different website and use that. Trying to pass off an AI's writing as your own is disingenuous. On top of that, this particular comment, in typical ChatGPT fashion, is full of wishy-washy fluff and no substance. Read it again. The conclusion is weak, too general and doesn't really add to @mmsanchezchess blog post at all, in my opinion.
@MrLizardWizard It kind of makes me cringe. We're supposed to take your writing seriously but you choose to advertise it with an image that suggests you have no idea how the board is even supposed to be set up?

Edit: I mean the general 'you' - I know you specifically didn't write this.

The topic is how to play against lower rated players and the image shows a frustrated more powerful entity (the enormous demon) facing off against a feisty less powerful entity (the boy). It makes sense to me. I like it.

Hey HumbleHardMan, the images I use are meant to entertain and amuse and not to be taken so seriously. If you take a critical approach you can poke holes in a lot of things, but what's the fun in that?

Hopefully the standalone content of the writing and chess analysis contained within the post proved interesting and instructive enough that you still got something out of it. As you can well imagine, as an international master I do know how the board is set up, and would like to think I can offer some insights even beyond that to those looking to take their game to the next level.

I appreciate your perspective on this matter. The issue of AI-generated content, particularly in comment sections, is a topic of ongoing discussion. It raises questions about transparency, authenticity, and the purpose of online interactions. While AI can certainly generate text that may mimic human expression, it lacks the genuine thought processes, emotions, and personal experiences that humans bring to conversations.

Concerns about the authenticity of content and the potential for misleading others are valid. Platforms and users often face challenges in discerning between human and AI-generated content, especially when there's an attempt to pass off AI-generated text as the genuine expression of an individual.

In the evolving landscape of online communication, addressing these challenges requires a combination of ethical guidelines, platform policies, and user awareness. Striking the right balance between allowing technological advancements and maintaining the authenticity and integrity of online discussions is an ongoing endeavor.

If you come across instances where AI-generated content is not appropriately disclosed, it's worthwhile to bring attention to it, either through comments or reporting mechanisms provided by the platform. Open conversations about the use of AI in online spaces can contribute to a better understanding and responsible deployment of these technologies.
@HumbleHardMan I can see where youre coming from but I agree with @analysisonly, it's just a abstact attention-getter for the actual blog. If @mmsanchezchess posted it as an art piece then I would agree more with you.

I legitimately knew this wiseguy AI response was coming. This is the real cringe. I hope we can all agree on that, at the least.
