It's like playing with an aimbot. You may be beating the other players, but where's the fun?
- blowski 3y agoI often use cheats and walkthroughs, to the chagrin of my gamer friends. I have fun though, so who cares?

- awestroke 3y agoYeah, this one was not hard to spot. Very obvious ChatGPT style. Try playing with a prompt preamble to set the writing style and tone.
- evertedsphere 3y agobesides, the account's called catgpt3, might as well pick a ... feline type of prompt
- ryan-c 3y agoI've run CTF games at major conferences. The point is to solve the challenges by any means necessary within the rules... and that which is not forbidden is allowed. If I, as a person running a CTF, did not want my players to do this, I would set up a few problems which would have incorrect (but not obviously so) "solutions" generated when fed to LLM. The Shamir's Secret Sharing reminds me of the time I was playing DEF CON CTF Quals, and had the bright idea to try to scan for challenges. I found one - it involved hiding fragments of a split secret in a modified version of ADVENT. I solved it. Even when the board was fully opened, it was nowhere to be seen. You does your hacks and you takes your chances...
- pmoriarty 3y ago> it involved hiding fragments of a split secret in a modified version of ADVENT. I solved it. Even when the board was fully opened, it was nowhere to be seen Can you explain what this means? I don't understand, except for the split secret part. Also: How did you do it?

The thing I found was not one of the 25 problems.
- gjadi 3y agoMy comment was negative and didn't bring anything. I should have refrain. Sorry to the author and thanks for the article, I learned about lagrange interpolation.
- d23 3y agoI think it’s a reasonable thing to consider, and you brought it up in a healthy, non-inflammatory way.
- pmoriarty 3y agoIt's like using a calculator on a math test. On some tests they're allowed, on others using one would be cheating.
