Chess itself might be a waste of time, but reading this article certainly didn't feel like one.
From a capitalist perspective, anything that doesn't earn money is a waste of time, and anything that does earn money is not.
In the /bitcoin /A.I. /genetic engineering economy, anyone who produces high quality information earns money, and anyone who does not struggles. So the question i guess is: is chess high quality information or not?
@emporas whether it is a waste of time or not depends on what your goal is with life.
For a second I saw emporas' command and imagined GPT had some role in writing this article. Then re-reading the article, I realized that doesn't make sense. :-)
If you enjoy doing something, then it's not waste of time. It's quite the opposite.
No, it is not!
This is something I myself have struggled with, I wish I had put the time of chess into something more productive like programming. But it is what it is.
@Toadofsky Indeed this article was written by a living human entity.
In automated statistical methods, i.e. artificial intelligence, we have already created text->image, text->music, text->legal document, text->novel etc. How about creating chess game->music? Then it might be profitable to play chess, and economically viable. Or maybe chess game->novel.
