I am writing this blog to confess that I have submitted today's D using GPT. It gave me code for my logic, which I mentioned in my submission. I did this because this logic clicked for me at the very end, and I was like, "I have to submit this code because I spent like 30 minutes finding that logic", but after submission, I felt guilty and wrote my own solution with the same logic, and it also passed. But anyhow, that was also a kind of cheating. So, I regret my action and I pledge not to repeat this kind of behaviour.
Just why? Are you really ok with knowing that your rating should have been lower? I personally had very similar situations many times but not using AI to solve problems feels much better even if your rating is lower that way
I know and I don't do it everyday but today I was Halfway through my code and it was too difficult to just let go I know it is wrong that's why I wrote this blog so that I don't do it again otherwise you think I would write this blog knowing that people will just give hate. also I didn't just copy pasted and it's not like I used 0 braincell, literally my whole logic is correct.
alright, it still doesnt justify what you did, but you sound so sorry that i cant be mad at you
Dear Codeforces, Please do not mass downvote this post. While what he did was entirely wrong, admitting that openly requires incredible guts. If you are downvoting this, then you are downvoting the confession, not the action. I read both of his solution and it almost certainly will get caught — as rest of his codes are in Python and this particular AI submission is in C++. That is enough, we do not need to mass-downvote the confession!
actually rest of codes are in python :)
Yeah — I swapped — sorry about that XD
Agree. Downvoting this blog is equal to discouraging future confession
True, but it should be made clear that any cheating is bad. Partial cheating is still cheating. But good on OP for confessing.
Also, guys if you don't believe me, you can just check my latest submission of D, it's completely mine with same logic used in my contest submission.
