What is the AI Golden Coin filter?

People on TikTok have spent hours and days trying to beat the AI bot in a viral filter that requires you to compete and grab the last golden coin.

The filter can be found on TikTok in Create mode and it comes with a series of silver coins arranged in order with the winning gold coin placed at the extreme bottom.

You have two options to choose from – Take One or Take Two. You can choose either each time to grab one or two coins and the aim is to get to the last remaining coin first.

A lot of users are finding the challenge extremely difficult as the bot is beating them to the golden coin first.

However, a few users, after relentless trying, have figured out how to beat the bot. All you have to do is remember and follow a simple code.

How to beat the bot in the viral challenge

A lot of users have tried the below method and succeeded in grabbing the last golden coin. You can try it too.

  • Start by taking one coin.
  • After the AI bot’s first turn, grab the opposite number of coins. For instance, if the bot picks one coin, you take two, and vice versa.
  • Continue to take the opposite number of coins until you are left with the last two coins or the winning golden coin. Then grab it on your last try.

Several users have suggested different codes to beat AI to the last coin, such as 1211 or 1212. However, these may not always work in your favor as the bot may pick different coins.
