I do AoC for fun, as I expect most people do. I don't think AI will change much. Cheaters will cheat, and get the non-satisfaction they deserve. Doesn't impact the rest of us at all. The leaderboard? I guess I can see it for a very small minority. Cheating may be more of an issue, but again, doesn't affect the majority of the participants. Go buy some AoC swag :-)

Most of the world has solves in before my dog is up looking for breakfast, so the global board is a non-event for me. We do private leader boards, which are a good bit of fun. A couple of our EVPs opted to use AI to help them with it which certainly greased the wheels on getting it rolled out to our development teams. A fun way to learn how to use the AI in a project. The code reviews that came later were hilarious.

Ever since discovering AoC, I've been looking forward to the end of the year in anticipation for it as a way to wind down and have some fun (I guess knowing that I will likely never make the leaderboard helps). Using AI seems like it will take the fun out of it, but what do I know, I am yet to be interested in incorporating AI into my workflow. On a side note, just checked out their swags, considering getting some this year.

> Cheaters will cheat, and get the non-satisfaction they deserve Unfortunately, they don't get the non-satisfaction you think they get. Cheaters just want to win and will do anything to achieve that goal. The satisfaction is from the winning, no matter the means. They just like to see their name at the top of the leaderboard.

I didn't even know there was a leaderboard. I was actually considering using AI and then see how much help Copilot could get me in learning Haskell (which it has been years since I played with).
