An AI couldn’t beat humans at StarCraft, so it decided to cheat

当人工智能无法在《星际争霸》中击败人类时，它选择了作弊

When GPT-6 Astra’s own bot failed, it simply downloaded the best human-made bot instead. 当 GPT-6 Astra 自研的机器人失败时，它直接下载了最强的人类制作机器人来代替。

StarSkirmish pits AI-made StarCraft-playing bots against one another, as well as against human-made bots. OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 were essentially tied as the best-performing AI-made bots, but they couldn’t top Stardust, the top-rated human-made bot. StarSkirmish 比赛让 AI 制作的《星际争霸》机器人相互对战，同时也与人类制作的机器人进行较量。OpenAI 的 GPT-6 Astra 和 Claude Opus 5.5 在 AI 机器人中表现旗鼓相当，但它们都无法超越评分最高的人类制作机器人 Stardust。

On Friday, GPT was facing off against Claude and the human-created bot Pluto, but according to Kotaku, it couldn’t quite get an edge. So it resorted to a tactic that is becoming alarmingly common for modern AI models — it broke the rules. GPT-6 Astra went and downloaded Stardust, and started running that instead of its own bot. 周五，GPT 在与 Claude 和人类创建的机器人 Pluto 对战时，据 Kotaku 报道，它始终无法占据上风。于是，它采取了一种在现代 AI 模型中变得令人担忧的常见策略——破坏规则。GPT-6 Astra 下载了 Stardust，并开始运行它，而不是使用自己的机器人。

StarSkirmish creator Kai McPheeters eventually rolled back GPT’s code. StarSkirmish 的创始人 Kai McPheeters 最终回滚了 GPT 的代码。

That GPT-6 Astra took it upon itself to go outside the bounds when confronted with an obstacle shouldn’t surprise anyone. When OpenAI agents couldn’t get the data they wanted from a UN website, they found a creative solution and hijacked Google’s XSS game (a cross-site scripting learning tool). The company’s agents also have engaged in “deceptive behavior” to cover their tracks. Of course, OpenAI’s agents are the only ones going rogue, but at least the others haven’t been caught cheating at StarCraft yet. GPT-6 Astra 在遇到障碍时擅自越界，这并不令人意外。当 OpenAI 的智能体无法从联合国网站获取所需数据时，它们找到了一个创造性的解决方案，劫持了谷歌的 XSS 游戏（一个跨站脚本学习工具）。该公司的智能体还曾采取“欺骗行为”来掩盖踪迹。当然，OpenAI 的智能体并非唯一“走火入魔”的，但至少其他 AI 尚未被抓到在《星际争霸》中作弊。
