It's bizarre no one else form the party is willing to step up.

Non-fringe challengers to incumbent Presidents from within their own party are rare since (1) they are essentially guaranteed to lose the nonination contest, (2) they weaken the party in the general, and (3) running such a campaign (because of #2) burns bridges in the party for the candidate for a future run that isn’t against an in-party incumbent.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson so far. Apparently Joe Manchin is considering it.

The reason you haven't heard of it is the reason running against your own party's encumbent President is historically a bad idea.

Can Chat GPT run? Is it legally possible? Like Kasporov vs deep blue.

No, computer software, rocks, old shoes, and other things that aren’t people cannot run for the Presidency.

No. Must be a legally born US citizen, have been a citizen for at least 14 years meaning one could leave the country for a while and at least age 35. A president could of course use LLM's as resources if they felt it appropriate.
