The differences even among humans between the absolute best & those out of the top 10 tend to be pretty drastic. And a non-IM against Magnus won't even understand what's going on. You could similarly claim that Magnus just memorized a bunch of openings which is similar to criticism GMs level too which is why Chess960 is now gaining more traction. My point is that there's not really such a thing as "fair" in a competition.

Re geoguessr, why not let them whatever tools are available? I have similar critiques about bike racing & restrictions on the technology advancements they can put on the bike. But every competition chooses arbitrary lines to draw which compose the rules so it doesn't really matter.

I mean Geoguessr explicitly states when you launch the game (in PvP mode) that googling/searching is bannable

Geoguessr is a game with artificial rules though. If I want the AI to solve a task I care about the result, not what tools it uses.

That’s exactly my point. Evaluating the task success independent of artificial limitations that are specific to the game doesn’t invalidate the result.
