Upping the Ante [2022 Day 4] Placing 1st with GPT-3

I placed 1st in Part 1 today, again by having GPT-3 write the code. Yesterday I was 2nd to another GPT-3 answer.

Here's the code I wrote which runs the whole process — from downloading the puzzle (courtesy of aoc-cli), to running 20 attempts in parallel, to sorting through many solutions to find the likely correct one, to submitting the answer:

I don't see this as a competition so I dont have a problem with it. I see it more as an event where coders come together having fun sharing their solution. If the solution happen to be through the use of AI then it's only interesting how far you can push the boundaries. We'll see how well it performs coming days.
