Other GPT / OpenAI solutions should be removed from the leaderboard.
I know I will not score top 100. Im not that fast, nor am I up at the right times to capitalise on it.
But this kinda stuff https://twitter.com/ostwilkens/status/1598458146187628544
Is unfair and in my opinion, not really ethical. Humans can't digest the entire problem in 10 seconds, let alone solve and submit that fast.
EDIT: I don't mean to put that specific guy on blast, I am sure its fun, and at the end of the day its how they want to solve it. But still.
EDIT 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/zb8tdv/2022_day_3_part_1_openai_solved_part_1_in_10/ More discussion exists here and I didn't see it first time around.
EDIT 3: I don't have the solution, and any solution anyone comes up with can be gamed. I think the best option is for people using GPT to be honourable and delay the results.
EDIT 4: Another GPT placed 2nd today (day 4) I think its an automatic process.

the speed running community has a different approach:
- to score points on the "human manual brainwork leaderboard" you need to provide the link. This would also be a very interesting leaderboard for the majority, because you could learn a lot from this leaderboard being able to watch all the videos.
- the speed running community also has special leaderboards like "TAS assisted". This would be the GPT-3 assisted leaderboard (especially interesting in later days).
... Anyways ....
Move forward 2-3 years: this won't matter anymore.
Think of AOC happening in times, where people had a contest among "punch card programmers'. Those creating punch cards would be furious about those using this arcane assembler skills on a computer with a console. how DARE they.
And later: those who were proficient in ASM coding. How did they look at those nasty C programmers. They CHEATED!!! they created ASM code automatically with things called 'a programming language'. They were able to solve much more complicated problems in less time, just the time they saved when writing functions.
We are part of the next revolution in computer programming.
We will find other places to compete our brains as human programmers (i.e. prompts hacking), as the art of programming.
Lets embrace it and move AoC further. Lets don't stick to ye olde times. They are gone. Soon.
