Not exactly a massive AI slop problem, right?
One of the rules was no AI during develooment, they voluntarily claimed they didn't use it.
They used it. Sure, in a minor way, but they used it and got caught.
The rules are the rules. Some chess events ban caffeine, we might laugh and say drinking a cup of coffee is not a big deal - but they'd be disqualified.
But this is like banning someone from a chess event because they experimented with caffeine 3 years ago and accidentally left a single Nespresso pod in their bag. That they also immediately threw in the trash when they noticed
Almoat... its like the rule said you cant have used caffeine for the past 5 years and you used some 3 years ago and then lied about it.
If we're following the chess analogy the developers are allowed to use AI to train their skill but not to aide in the actual competition.
