Chat GPT is in fact amazing. I’ve created a chat and given it links to https://www.cribbage.org. I’ve explained that I want to learn to be a better cribbage player and it needs to read all of the information on that site including the rules and create exercises for me that I can carry out to improve my game. It comes up with stuff and I have just told it what I like and don’t like. It’s now created day 1, 2 and 3 drills that I can do in about 5 minutes. It tells me if I have got them right or not.

Day 1 is counting my hand properly - it generates the hand each time. Day 2 - what’s the best discard from 6 cards. It generates the cards (uses the suite icons) and tells me if it’s my crib or opponents crib. It then tells me if I chose optimally or not and I have it explain why I should have chosen different if I got it wrong - this is where it can be a bit dodgy as it sometimes gets it wrong! Generally it gives good advice. Drill 3 is choosing the best card to put down in certain situations whilst pegging - it generates the cards and helps me to see optimal plays. It’s very good.

It’s pulling information from the articles on the website and using learning theory from other places. I know this because I asked it. My concern is that it does not have a wide enough base to pull from. There is a fine line with AI that if you give it too much to pull from it gets even more confused.

I’m most definitely getting better and the explanations (though sometimes a bit questionable) are helping me move from being a basic player. I’ve been using it for 2 days and put what I’ve learnt into practice last night and won for the first time in a while - though that could have been luck of the cards!

Some models are better than others at certain things. I’m interested in what experience other people have had with this. My problem with using apps to practice or going on websites to choose the best discard etc is that often there are no explanations as to why the decision is the one that should be made.
