> an LLM with the ability to search the web and write python scripts would smoke the best humans at chess and MTG?
Even if that were true, humans don't need to search the web and write python scripts to play a competitive game of MTG.

Again, who cares? How does that help humans compete against LLMs in any domain where the LLM will have web search, python, and other tools (which is basically always)?
I don't understand this argument, it’s not like humans and LLMs are engaging in some kind of competition with strict rules where ONLY the raw LLM responses “count” or something.
The particular problem here is it's not addressing the intelligence spikiness between individual humans. Most humans aren't going to play a competitive game of MTG, a small percentage will rise above the rest and dominate.
Also this is being intelligence blind. Most humans could never write a good python script to play a competitive game of MTG, almost any SOTA model can.
This would be like a bee saying humans aren't intelligent because we can't see in ultra violet, where as we're damn good at making tools that can.
