It sounds like the bot could be made (slightly?) more intelligent, to avoid entering contests that you're certainly not eligible to.

Why? It's better to win everything possible to prevent other people from winning them.

Preventing other people from winning contests doesn't make the bot "better"

Well I guess we have philosophical differences, but if I could hypothetically prevent every person in the world from winning every contest, it would be very funny and exciting to me.

Trying to prevent other people from winning stuff for no reason?

That's not called a "philosophical difference". That is called "I'm an asshole".
