Should programming contests remain human-only, or is AI just another tool like an IDE that we should let people use?
human only
How to access the editorials page from the website itself?
Do you guys think this platform is going to be the next big thing? i just joined here from blog from cf
With the pace that AI is progressing its no longer a "companion" that we can use to get boilerplates. Every Competitive platform should enforce strict guardrails for "serious" people to compete. Eg: - User can save pre-written templates in the platform. - Users should only write code in the env provided by the platform. - No copy-paste of solutions is allowed. - Platform should be responsible for tracking user activity of switching tabs and decide to disqualify. AI is always going to be the better choice both pre and post contest. In-contest should purely be human.
Maybe the future of contests isn’t banning tools, but designing problems where understanding matters more than access to them.
I think contests are similar to chess games, even though now it's impossible to beat a chess engine like stockfish even for the world's best human chess player, people still playing chess on their own without using chess engines for their personal enjoyment; so i think CP should also be like that, even though AI tools get smarter and smarter than humans, we should improve our problem solving skills for our personal enjoyment as well.
I personally feel like everything else, at some point we should accept AI as a tool people have. In real world when you solve a problem you have it, so if the goal of contests is to train people who can solve hard problems in the real world, they should be able to use the tools they have at some point.
