Given what I understand about the nature of competitive programming competitions, using an LLM seems kind of like using a calculator in an arithmetic competition (if such a thing existed) or a dictionary in a spelling bee.
- jama211 10mo agoI feel like it’s more like using an electronic dictionary in a spelling bee that already allowed you to use a paper dictionary. All it really does is demonstrate that the format isn’t suited to be a competition in the first place. Which is why I think it’s great they dropped the competitive part and have just made it an advent calendar. Much better that way.
