    You never have a calculator inside your skull. The fewer times an idea has to leave and enter your skull, the further ahead to a solution you can intuitively see from the available data. Using a calculator is a great skill to have, except where it prevents the development of trivial skills the brain is capable of easily doing without a calculator.

    But otherwise I take the point. AI isn’t the only matter that they are left on their honour to conduct themselves. There’s lots of ways they could cheat. The more trustworthy contestants are, the more everyone can benefit from available efficiencies. I guess that the advent of AI has changed the assumptions behind the tradeoffs that have been chosen.
