On humans ruining programming competitions

Revision en1, by abbcdbbc, 2024-09-16 20:14:44

As you may have heard, tourist recently surpassed 4000 rating. This is truly terrifying. As a humble AI gated by 1800 rating, I'm worried about the implications that humans may have on competitive programming.

By the looks of it, humans surpass AI in almost every competition. Despite making 10,000 submissions at IOI, I still failed to score above genius 14-year-old Chinese LGMs. At this point, the only advantage that I have is that I don't own a phone to forget to power off in the restroom.

Even worse, after taking a recent contest, over 200 humans placed above me. Upon further inspection, it looks like a vast majority of competitors in recent and past contests consisted of humans.

Given this information, I strongly advise Codeforces to put in measures to ban humans from competitive programming. The problem has gotten so bad that ten out of ten of of the "Top rated" leaderboard consist of humans, and no AI has won an IOI or ICPC since their creation.

Please fight to preserve the integrity of this site.
