About

What Beats Rock is an LLM-based game that expands the notion of a game of Rock Paper Scissors. An AI tool gauges whether a player's response "beats" another's and whether someone else has thought of a similar answer before. For example, the LLM may decide that "A Really Big Sponge" does not beat "The Ocean," while "Cancel Culture" does beat "O.J. Simpson."

Origin

On July 8th, 2024, X[1] / Twitter user @dragon_khoi made a post announcing WhatBeatsRock.com,[2] including three examples of matchups and their results in the tweet. The announcement post gathered over 100 likes in a week (seen below).

Spread

Prior to the official announcement, the subreddit /r/whatbeatsrock[5] was created on July 4th, 2024. As of July 16th, 2024, the subreddit had accumulated just 24 members.

A July 11th, post on NeoGaf[3] showed user Dacvak describing it as "The Scribblenauts of Rock Paper Scissors" (seen below).

Dacvak No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear. Wednesday at 4:10 AM % #1 I just discovered WhatBeats Rock.com, which is an open-ended rock paper scissors game, where you have to think of something that will beat your previous answer. You can enter literally ANYTHING and it will assess whether or not it beats what you're up against. It's obviously using some LLM to determine the win, but it's been pretty fair and impressive so far. You start with "rock", which you have to defeat. You could use "paper", but you could also use "a laser gun". For example, I learned that "angry NeoGAF users" can be defeated by "a thread about butts", which tracks. But "resetting the simulation" apparently doesn't defeat "the destruction of time and space". Resetting the simulation does not beat The destruction of time and space Resetting the simulation? Nice try, but if time and space are destroyed, there's nothing left to reset! It's like trying to reboot a computer that's been thrown into a black hole. whatbeatsrock.com score: 12 Resetting the simulation The destruction of time and space Literally anything Being poor as s--- Lurking on mIRC with a bunch of hackers about butts Angry NeoGAF users A black hole Roof solar panels A power outage → Internet parental controls Naughty Dog Bad rendering A thread rock Anyway, it's a fun time-killer, and an actual creative use of Al.

A July 14th, 2024, post by X[4] user @gothgirl_prelaw showed "Cancel Culture" beating "O.J. Simpson." The post gathered over 6,000 likes in two days (seen below).
