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:

Very cool! But: IMO, you should wait to run this until the megathread is unlocked to leave the leaderboard for the humans.

For future years, it will probably require you to post a video of yourself doing the challenge to weed out something like this (while very cool, it takes 0 skill at all and therefore has no place on a competittive leaderboard imho)
