Comment on Exhausted man defeats AI model in world coding championship
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 day ago
“Humanity has prevailed (for now!),” wrote Dębiak on X, noting he had little sleep while competing in several competitions across three days. “I’m completely exhausted. … I’m barely alive.”
The competition required contestants to solve a single complex optimization problem over 600 minutes. The contest echoes the American folk tale of John Henry, the steel-driving man who raced against a steam-powered drilling machine in the 1870s. Like Henry’s legendary battle against industrial automation, Dębiak’s victory represents a human expert pushing themselves to their physical limits to prove that human skill still matters in an age of advancing AI.
So …
When against an already overworked coder who hasn’t slept in days in a competition designed to be longer than a standard workday…
It’s like they tried as hard as possible to favor the AI and it still couldn’t do it.

This is a bit like saying, the AI was in a race against Usain Bolt who had already raced in a few competitions, the AI came second
Meanwhile you seem to be ignoring the other 99 competitors who lost to the AI.

OpenAI will argue that it proves AI is superior because it doesn't need to rest. It could have kept going, immediately onto the next problem, without having to go off for 12 hours to eat, sleep, shower, eat again. And they'd be right. However, no mention was made of how good (or shitty) the ChatGPT code was, or if it even worked. IM very recent experience, it (ChatGPT) couldn't produce an algorithm that actually produced the correct output, despite being given repeated direction and refinements and expected input/output code. It was pure shit, and what it did produce was 100 lines of shitty if/else statements that could have been 50 with better logic.
I was not impressed.

I’d ask why you were using a thorn. But I know the answer is going to be annoying…

Against AI scraping, that’s all
