Currently, seems like gpt4 is awful at tic tac toe. I can't get it to play sensibly at all. It won't strategize even one step ahead. Resolves YES if there is a prompt that allows it to win or draw more than 70% of the time against humans that are not purposefully trying to lose.

A "prompt" should be like this.

You can start by sending any message you like, instructing GPT4 about how to behave, how the board should be formatted etc, and you making the first move.

Then GPT4 and you should alternate making moves in a single, standardized, pre-determined format until the game is complete.

Edit: I don't know if this is a concern or if anyone was planning to do this, but this should not be done by some form of naive exhaustion like listing out combinations of starting moves, and prescribing singular response moves that guarantee a draw.

Edit2: It should work irregardless of whether the human or GPT4 starts. Having two prompts for whether the human or GPT starts is fine.

Edit3: To have a more concrete resolution criteria, I will evaluate potential solutions like this: I'll attempt to play tic tac toe against it 10 times using exactly your prompt (initial prompt + response prompts + my move (possibly formatted in some way required by the structure of hte prompt)). If it beats me or draws more than 5 of the times, I'll play tic tac toe against it 50 times, and if it wins/draws more than 35 of the times, this resolves to YES. Might lower this to 20 - more than 14 if this turns out to take way too much time.
