- AI competing is "wholly unfair"

- "[AI is] far away from being substantially being better than MCTs"

^ pick only one

Running MCTS over algorithms is the part that might be considered unfair if used in competition with humans.

  • Humans should be allowed to compete in groups of arbitrary size. This would also be a demonstration of excellent teamwork under time pressure.

Yeah it’s a completely fair playing field, it’s completely obvious that AI should be able to compete with humans in the same way that robotics and computers can compete with humanity (and are better suited for many tasks).

Whether or not they’re far away from being better than humans is up to debate, but the entire point of these types of benchmarks it to compare them to humans.

    Yeah same way computers and robots should be able to win World Chess Championship, 100m dash and Wimbledon.

    The entire point of the competition is to fight against participants who are similar to you, have similar capabilities and go through similar struggles. If you want bot vs human competitions - great - organize it yourself instead of hijacking well established competitions out there.
