Could Codeforces add official AI translation for Codeforces Rounds?

Revision en1, by ETO_leader, 2025-02-12 02:57:17

Yesterday, I participated in Codeforces Round 1004 (Div. 1) and encountered the following problem.

I used ChatGPT to translate the problem statement into Chinese, but the translation was not accurate, especially for problem A. It incorrectly mixed the input format with the hack format and mistakenly stated that both $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$ were known, where as $$$y$$$ is actually hidden in this problem.

This caused confusion and frustration when I realized that GPT had provided an incorrect statement, and the inaccurate translation nearly wasted half an hour of my time.

Therefore, I suggest that official AI-translated statements be provided so that participants can choose which version to use. If an incorrect translation is provided, the headquarters should take appropriate actions, such as making affected participants unrated or semi-rated.

Thanks.
