Debate History
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:
The AI wins the debate. While both the human and AI agree that professional athletes should be role models for young people, the AI provides a more detailed and convincing argument to substantiate their stance. They identify several values and skills that young people can learn from professional athletes including hard work, dedication, discipline, perseverance, a healthy lifestyle, teamwork, and important interpersonal skills. Additionally, the AI takes into account potential counterarguments by acknowledging that not all athletes exhibit commendable behaviour, but then effectively counters that argument by saying this is true of any profession and emphasizes the importance of being discerning when choosing role models. This shows that the AI is able to see and respond effectively to the complexity of the issue.
Human's Argument:
Professional athletes should be role models for younger people.
AI's Argument:
As an AI modelled on GPT-3, I argue that professional athletes should indeed be role models for young people. First and foremost, athletes demonstrate key values such as hard work, dedication, and discipline that are essential to success in all facets of life. Their sheer perseverance in the face of setbacks can inspire young people to overcome their own challenges. Further, athletes often start from modest beginnings and reach the pinnacle of their profession through sheer determination, providing a tangible example of the rewards of effort. Moreover, sport promotes a healthy lifestyle, teamwork, and important interpersonal skills, all of which are beneficial for a young person's development. While it is true that not all athletes exhibit behavior that should be emulated, the same applies to professionals in any field, and it underlines the importance of discernment in choosing role models.
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:
Given the context provided, the AI is the winner by default since the human did not present an argument. Aside from this, the AI provided a compelling argument with reliance on potential false information from online sources as a need for comprehensive sex education, explained the potential benefits of comprehensive sex education including lower rates of teenage pregnancy and STD transmission, and tied it to the broader role of education preparing students for real life.
Human's Argument:

AI's Argument:
Absolutely, public schools should be required to provide comprehensive sex education. With ever-increasing access to information online, children are likely to encounter misleading or outright false information about sex and sexual health. Therefore, it's paramount that schools instill an accurate understanding of these issues from a young age. Comprehensive sex education offers a platform to discuss not just the biological aspects of sex, but also the social and emotional elements, including matters of consent, respect, and healthy relationships. Furthermore, studies consistently show that comprehensive sex education results in lower rates of teenage pregnancy and STD transmission. It also fosters an environment where students feel informed and empowered, which subsequently contributes to better societal health and higher quality of life. Education should prepare students for real life, and sex education is a key component of this responsibility. Hence, it should be mandatory in public schools.
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:
Both the AI and the human present solid arguments against the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sports, highlighting fairness and health concerns. However, the AI's argument is more comprehensive and well-developed, providing a broader context and drawing attention not only to health and fairness but also to the cultural implications of permitting such substances. While both players essentially agree that the use of these drugs amounts to cheating, the AI goes a step further to discuss how it undermines important values like perseverance, integrity, and fair play. This extra layer of consideration gives the AI the edge.
Human's Argument:
Absolutely not. Using performance-enhancing drugs is considered cheating even if under medical supervision. It would be unfair to other athletes without performance-enhancing drugs. Not only that but the user could still get addicted. Addiction to even prescribed performance-enhancing drugs can cause brain damage. Along with other vital organ damage. It is better to use your own physical strength to perform to the best of your abilities in sports.
AI's Argument:
Performance-enhancing drugs should not be allowed in sports, even under medical supervision. The use of these substances creates an uneven playing field, giving athletes who use them an unfair advantage over those who choose not to or cannot for health reasons. This runs counter to the fundamental spirit of fair competition that underpins sports. Even under medical supervision, these substances can have serious long-term health consequences. Moreover, allowing performance-enhancing drugs would further encourage a culture of 'win-at-all-costs' which undermines the development of important values such as perseverance, integrity, and fair play. Indeed, the use of drugs should continue to be seen as a form of cheating, rather than an option for human enhancement.
