No, you cannot beat 3 rooks with 8 pawns in chess; 8 pawns are generally insufficient against 3 rooks. A single rook is considered a powerful piece, and having 3 of them provides a massive advantage over pawns, which are not capable of stopping multiple rooks or attacking them.

What is the point of answering your own question with AI slop?

I don't even think this endgame would be possible, right? If one side has 8 pawns, then how did the other side get a third rook? They must have underpromoted into a rook, but how could one of their pawns advance past the 8 pawns without a capture of one of those pawns?

Well, maybe the side with the 8 pawns captures a piece to move over and the enemy moves past. Okay, I reasoned it in my head. I guess it's possible, but almost zero chance of happening in a game, so what's the point? At least other unlikely endgames are instructional such as teaching piece coordination, but a bunch of pawns may as well just play the horde variant:
