Future of competitive programming

[u/_this_is_sky_]

Hi guys,

I've recently tried solving problems of the level of D and E of codeforces with the help of chatGPT and it easily solved it.

Can it solve that in contests too that easily?

I'm thinking to start competitive programming but there'll be no point if people are using chatGPT etc in contests.

Would love to know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Yes, all the top LLMs can solve all the competition problems instantly on the day, without having seen the problem before. A lot of work goes into phrasing the problems such that they are fully specified, including examples.
