In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has left many wondering about its implications for competitive programming (CP). With AI now capable of solving a significant portion of 1000 ELO problems, it seems only a matter of time before it surpasses even the most skilled human programmers. This begs the question: is it still worthwhile to practice CP if AI will soon be able to solve problems faster and more efficiently than humans?
At first glance, the prospect of AI dominance in CP may seem daunting. After all, AI algorithms can perform complex calculations in milliseconds, outpacing human capabilities by orders of magnitude. But as we contemplate this impending shift, we must also consider the broader implications for human ingenuity and creativity.
One key aspect to ponder is the role of humans in a future dominated by AI. While it's true that AI may excel in executing algorithmic solutions, it lacks the intuitive understanding and creative problem-solving skills inherent to the human mind. While AI may provide quick solutions, it's the human touch that often leads to breakthrough innovations and novel approaches in problem-solving.
Moreover, the rise of AI in CP could herald a new era of collaboration between humans and machines. Rather than viewing AI as a competitor, programmers may leverage its capabilities to augment their own skills. By integrating AI tools into their workflow, programmers can streamline the problem-solving process and focus on higher-level tasks that require human intuition and creativity.
Furthermore, the emergence of AI in CP raises profound philosophical questions about the nature of human endeavor and achievement. As AI continues to outperform humans in various domains, what will define success and mastery for individuals? Will the ability to create and innovate still hold value in a world where machines can perform tasks more efficiently?
Ultimately, the future of CP lies in embracing the symbiotic relationship between humans and AI. While AI may excel in certain aspects of problem-solving, it's the unique blend of human creativity and ingenuity that will continue to drive progress in the field. As we navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, it's essential to adapt our approach to CP, leveraging AI as a powerful tool while preserving the essence of human innovation.
In conclusion, the rise of AI in competitive programming presents both challenges and opportunities for programmers. While AI may revolutionize the way we approach problem-solving, it's crucial to recognize the enduring value of human creativity and intuition. By embracing this synergy between humans and machines, we can unlock new possibilities and shape the future of competitive programming in profound ways.
Leave your thoughts on this) Blog is written with the help of ChatGPT
I tried using ChatGPT for an 800-rated problem once. It gave me an 8000-rated buggy monstrosity.
the progress in videos which seems terrifying is not related to the programming at all, because image processing algorithms depend on models of data only, otherwise the face that cp depends on ai neural network, which depends on how easy the problem can be understanded, do you know these problems that has easy to understand requirement but how to do it is the hard part? ai maybe have a chance with it in the upcoming days, anyway, this might be even 50 years +, cos ai need moorrreee to improve then take care about cp, so don't worry, as long as your work need some brain things, you won't be replaced :)
I figured it out way before reaching this sentence. The entire blog is just a glass of water without any particular/interesting/new points or conclusions.
ChatGPT in a nutshell.
the point of this blog not to engage you with some interesting stuff, but to raise a concern about what is going on now. I wanted to hear peoples opinion about this — is it still worthwhile to practice CP if AI will soon be able to solve problems faster and more efficiently than humans? But not to hear useless stuff. English is my forth language and i asked gpt to express my thoughts in a better English way, but I agree that he added many "glass of water".
If so — just read other blogs here on this topic and comments to them. This concern have been raised many times and I believe there are already enough information available to answer your question. Or ask this simple question in a one sentence and don't dilute it with 7 paragraphs of water. Don't want to hear useless stuff — don't post it yourself. It's a normal thing when people react like this to seeing "yet another pointless long read about ChatGPT" (moreover if it's generated by ChatGPT).
I have many observations and ideas in my mind waiting to securely share it
