a ton of cheeting
By theSkeleton, history, 24 hours ago, In English

so it was an interesting contest to say the least xD but what i want to talk about is using ai to cheat i think it is obvious that a ton of people cheated (very much so on f of div2) as a matter of fact 2 of my own freinds cheated (i wont say their names cuz i aint no snitch, at least for now) but even looking at random peoples codes for d,e,f and comparing them to a,b,c, i just cant shake the feeling that some cheated now i cant really prove they cheated, maybe they suddenly changed codding style and improved from lower rated to candis but i just wanted to share my opinion :)

me after this contest lmao

"2 of my own freinds cheated (i wont say their names cuz i aint no snitch, at least for now)".

Pick a side. Just making a blog wont help the community, if you actually could state the users, it wouldve not only helped the community, but also your friends who couldve realised that cheating wont make them any better

    // Additional redundant loop to obfuscate the code style further.

    LOL. Possibly. But some people like to comment code for their own understanding too.

    Can ChatGPT even solve problems like E and F? If it can, competitive programming is in real danger :(. I don’t understand why people cheat—maybe they’re just shortcut-seekers aiming for FAANG.

              do you think they aren't trying? if they add an AI checker people will just find ways around it

    diff-diff boilerplate codes , the pattern is exactly like LLMs write code , 10-15 comments and 3-4 diff classes in 3rd solution , similar in others. 100% that's a cheater.

        Yes , they should do something about it. It has been a great platform for genuine learners, but now it is getting out of hand

Manasvi C and everything almost Pew_Pew. F AND D

the f solutions in particular are funny , just tried to hide the modinverse 16 and the mutliplication by making into multiple steps.

Quite shameful that these guys were previous experts lmao

I do not wanna be racist but most of cheaters i have seen are Indians because they are doing CP forcefully, to just get rating.

    As an indian, i agree, they do it for placements, which is sad since when they do get an interview opportunity they wont have the skills to pass.

The amount of cheating in A and B is insane. These problems serve as the first step for those in the newbie or pupil rating range, but lately, submissions for A and B are skyrocketing. This leaves little room for honest participants to achieve a good rank.
