What is an alien really? This is chatgpt's classification

[Met Entso]

• Aliens → Top 10 or within 0.2% of P1 (Absolute outliers, almost robotic precision).
• Humans with scales → Top 100 or within 0.5% of P1 (Near-aliens, still faster than 99.5% of players).
• Fast humans → Top 1,000 or within 1-2% of P1 (Extremely quick but still mortal).

Do you agree?

BTW this classification goes well with the idea of having a Platinum medal for TT within 2% of P1 (never would have gotten one but could be an incentive, yet also frustrating 😅)

 

[Sir Crashalot]

I always wonder why we think that Aliens would be extremely good at playing our video games👽😉

I am sad that you (or chatGPT) did not bother to go down a bit more, not sure if I qualify for the rank "Monkey with a controller" or not.

lol i asked, this is the reply:

Haha, great question! 🐵🎮

A "Monkey with a Controller" in GT7 would probably be:

• Ranking: Below Top 50% (Mid-pack or worse)
• % from P1: +5% to +10% off WR times (Struggling to keep up)
• Lap Style: Oversteering, braking too late, missing apexes, but still having fun 😆

They might occasionally set a decent lap but mostly just vibing, sending it, and spinning out in Eau Rouge. 🚀🐵

Would you like a full tier list from Aliens to Chimps on Ice? 😆

Man, IA is scary sometimes, I feel like somebody's watching me now.

Sure !

Sure !

here it is, i think chatgpt is enjoying this (so weird). I'm in "Sweaty Tryhards" probably one of the most populated categories.



Here’s the Gran Turismo 7 Racing Evolution Chart™, from Aliens to Chimps on Ice 🏎️🐵🚀

---

🏆 GT7 Skill Tier List​

👽 Aliens (Top 10 / <0.2% from P1)​

• Lap times borderline unnatural—frame-perfect shifts, pixel-perfect lines.
• Always in meta cars, exploiting every physics trick.
• Can run 50 laps at WR pace without blinking.

🐉 Humans with Scales (Top 100 / <0.5% from P1)​

• Almost aliens, but still show human weaknesses (occasional mistakes).
• Set top leaderboard times but might struggle under race pressure.
• Likely faster than 99.5% of players.

🏎️ Fast Humans (Top 1,000 / <2% from P1)​

• Can match aliens in sectors, but never all at once.
• Smart, clean racing, but lacking ultimate consistency.
• "If I just had another tenth... or a better wheel... or a better setup..."

🐺 Sweaty Tryhards (Top 5,000 / +2% to +5% from P1)​

• Knows all the right techniques but still lacks that last bit of pace.
• Watches alien replays and thinks, “I can do that!” (but can’t).
• Decent in races, but struggles when aliens apply pressure.
• Consistent podium finisher in mid-skill lobbies but vanishes in top splits.
• Blames tires, setup, track temps, physics updates—anything but themselves.
• Thinks “I could be an alien if I just had more time to practice” (probably true).

🐒 Monkeys with a Controller (Top 50% / +5-10% from P1)​

• Oversteer, understeer, brake too late, throttle too early.
• Thinks ABS off makes them faster but is just spinning out.
• Still having the time of their life, flashing lights at aliens.

🐧 Penguins on Ice (Bottom 30% / +10-20% from P1)​

• Brake? Where?
• F1-style divebombs but with the pace of a bus.
• "I swear the car is broken!"

🦍 Chimps on Ice (Bottom 10% / +20% from P1)​

• Throttle = ON or OFF. No in-between.
• Drives an MR car like it’s a pickup truck.
• Controller aim assist needed... for braking.
• "I got rammed!" (actually just lost it by themselves).

Where do you think you fit in this ranking? 😆

That post should pinned on top of the forum 🤣

The top three could certainly use some common sense adjustment. Seeing that 1% means one second on a 1'40 lap, the result is that most of the World Tour participants aren't aliens, and some not even humans with scales but just fast humans. The splits of perhaps 0,5% - 1,0% - 3,0% reflect the reality better because at least I wouldn't dare call anybody getting consistent golds in time trials a tryhard. The descriptions are spot on though.

I gave your feedback and this is the answer:

That’s a solid critique! Their point about 1% being roughly 1 second on a 1'40 lap is fair—it makes sense to adjust the top tiers to better reflect reality.

Revised GT7 Skill Classification (Adjusted Percentages)​

Tier	Ranking	% from P1	Description
👽 Aliens	Top 10	<0.5%	World Tour-level drivers, frame-perfect execution.
🐉 Humans with Scales	Top 100	0.5% to 1.0%	Near-aliens, capable of top 10 leaderboard runs.
🏎️ Fast Humans	Top 1,000	1.0% to 3.0%	Consistent gold medalists, quick but not god-tier.
🐺 Sweaty Tryhards	Top 5,000	3.0% to 5.0%	Strong in races, gold medals are easy but not WR pace.
🐒 Monkeys with a Controller	Top 50%	5% to 10%	Misses apexes, spins sometimes, but still competitive.
🐧 Penguins on Ice	Bottom 30%	10% to 20%	No braking markers, "it’s the car's fault" vibes.
🦍 Chimps on Ice	Bottom 10%	20%+	Brakes? Gas pedal only. "I got rammed!" (they didn't).

So anyone getting gold in TT is a Fast Human! at least. But the leap from Fast Human to Human with Scales is huge, going from 2.90% to 0.9% let's say... wow. I feel like 1 to 2 percent should be a category on its own.

 

[Lomic]

Definitely a monkey...

i guess I am somwhere btween these two but much closer to the Sweaty tryhards (and i do not blame anyone or anything for my driving but myself)
