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."
