This is one of the most insane posts I’ve seen on this subreddit. I wish I could articulate how cool I think this is combined with how existentially zoinked it’s making my brain

There are ways around the text limitations if you’re creative enough. I saw a youtuber play chess against ChatGPT by using standard written-out chess notation. (The AI started attempting illegal moves after about 10 turns, but according to the person that was better than any other text-based AI he’s tested)

AFAIK this statistic is often misrepresented; the average life expectancy was lower, but largely due to infant and child mortality. Once you made it past 12 or so, you could reasonably expect to live a similar length of time as people in the modern era.

However, your point is still valid in a way. Life back then was physically harder and the state of healthcare was obviously nowhere near what it is now. People likely showed their age much more quickly than people today.
