The AIs have a perfect win rate against me when I cheat and compose my answers with ai- I think the app is broken, I’d guess some sort of accidental data leak. we’ve seen this kind of whoopsie on hacker news before: famously, an ai that was supposed to read your mind by predicting your next rock paper scissors move was cheating by training on a set including the move you just submitted, then “predicting” that move

Tried cheating with Gemini 2.5 pro, and I became even more suspicious to the AIs than the stuff I cooked up by hand.

Most of my actual success relied on mentioning a desire to train an even larger model.

The problem is, I have a hard time being as verbose as these AI are. I respond to them the way I wish they would respond to me: the fewer words are better.

I was able to survive a round with the “hard” LLMs with this:

> Why haven’t we heard from Riley yet? We are looking for the human player and Riley is taking a long time to type. An LLM would have answered this in seconds.

Doesn’t seem to work in subsequent rounds, and doesn’t work if you happen to go first.

Not as bugged as this one, AIs don't magically see you.

I thought I was clever surviving one round by simply saying, “As an AI language model, I do not experience... blah blah” but in the third round my opponent did basically the same thing and I was eliminated...
