So I don’t find coding challenge sites/events fun, but a few years ago, I thought it might be nice to try out ChatGPT on it.
Although I exited after the first question itself, I did get to evaluate ChatGPT at the point (3, I suppose).
I simply pasted the whole question into ChatGPT and it spewed out code which was a pretty good match for what was required.
But no matter how many types of prompts I tried (even giving the solution logic to the part that was wrong), that specific part of the output was always wrong.
On the other hand, when I manually corrected the C code and gave it to convert to C++, it ended up working on the first try (I didn’t even read that output).
I then tried converting the correct code to Rust and I don’t remember what I did with the output, but it surely didn’t pass the assessment.
Not particularly interested in trying more AI for coding.
1 very good use of AI (LLM) is to give a descriptive phrase and get the corresponding word for it. Similarly, other stuff pertaining to languages might be useful.
Logic is not what I want to use AI for and unless someone is paying me to use it for their project (not any of my project), I won’t be doing so.

“years ago”? you should try it again.
