That's a bit nonsense though isn't it? The bot isn't showing up to the party and coming up with a plan to present. The person is operating the machine, and without the person there's no output.

If I can beat someone's technical skills with AI what are their technical skills worth? That's the question that a lot of people are struggling with right now.

If you can come up with a problem that a human can solve better without AI, then that's an interesting competition and the tools involved wouldn't end up mattering much.

Now if the contest is "who can develop the best/smallest/fastest app without AI" that's completely fine, there are similarly "who can cut the most grass with a scythe" competitions and everyone involved knows what they're signing up for and has a good time. Nothing wrong with that.

I could turn up on a chess competition with a chess machine and beat my opponents with it, but that is not the point of chess competitions
