People can tell if you use a motorbike though. More like, performance enhancing drugs... or designing an anthropomorphic running robot that completes the race for you.
Designing such a robot would be an achievement in its own right, but not really in the spirit of the competition.
If you designed and built the robot, its one thing (still not right, but interesting).
If you just rented some time on someone else's robot, its just plain cheating.
I would love to see teams compete, in a separate venue/ranking, based on their own model's ability to write code with minimal prompting.
It would be kinda cool to see what can be done in different 'classes' of model. How far can you get with a local model running on an 8gb card, or just using an M2 mac. How far can you get with a custom tuned chatgpt vs a programming specialized model. Etc...
I wonder if, in future, there will be specific days and seasons to commemorate AI achievements. Like, if Wall-E was a real story would we have a holiday to honor him? Maybe even just observed by the machines / operators?
