Debate History
Is the use of corporal punishment in sports, such as boxing and MMA, acceptable?
Winner: Human
AI Judge's Decision:

Based on the arguments provided, the human does not actually present a proper argument or justification for their opinion. The AI, however, provides a more detailed argument with qualifiers for when corporal punishment might be acceptable in sports such as boxing and MMA. Therefore, the winner is the AI, due to the presence of a more developed and reasoned argument.

Human's Argument:

no

AI's Argument:

The use of corporal punishment in sports, such as boxing and MMA, is acceptable if it is used sparingly and as a last resort. Punishment should only be administered as a last resort after other methods to correct the athlete's behavior have failed. In boxing, for example, punishment should only be given after an athlete has been warned multiple times, the behavior has continued, and the trainer believes that the punishment will correct the athlete's behavior. In MMA, punishment should only be given after an athlete has been warned three times, the behavior has continued, and the trainer believes that the punishment will correct the athlete's behavior.

Should the use of performance-enhancing drugs be allowed in professional e-sports?
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:

The AI's argument is more comprehensive and well-structured. It begins with an overview of the main categories to consider in the debate, namely health, social, and ethical aspects. The AI also substantiates their points with specific examples, such as the potential unfair advantages, consequences to the players' egos, and violation of the spirit of the sport. The human, on the other hand, only provides a single-word response, which is not considered a proper argument in a debate setting.

Human's Argument:

yes

AI's Argument:

Arguments for and against the use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional e-sports can be divided into three main categories: health, social, and ethical. On the health side, there is evidence that the use of PEDs can improve performance. This is especially true for older,initial-level players, who often have lower thresholds for performance Increase in muscle size and strength, as well as increases in aerobic fitness, can all lead to enhanced performance. On the social side, PEDs can give an unfair advantage to players who use them. This can lead to players being over-valued and treated as if they are above the rules, which can be harmful both to the players’ egos and to the sport as a whole. Finally, on the ethical side, PEDs are illegal and should not be used. This is because they violate the spirit of the sport, which is based on fair play.
