How about, can a generative AI teach itself how to use a chess AI to beat chess? Give GPT4 the ability to make REST API calls and also access to FFI, and put a chess-bot library somewhere. Train it how to use these but not necessarily how to use the chess API specifically. If you ask GPT4 to play chess, can it call into that library and use the requests/responses?
This has bigger ramifications too: if GPT4 learns how to use RPCs effectively, it can do accurate complex mathematical computations and simulations, do IoT/home automation tasks, and even control heavy machinery.
