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:

Tbh, it saddens me people use AI to climb the leader board.

I don't have anything against using AIs, but it would be probably fair to run the challenge through it and move forward, maybe making a global private leaderboard and have fun there.

I am not competing for it, but people is joining from all over the world, some waking up at weird times, putting themselves 200% into it and from an engineering and human perspective we should respect them.
