University of Waterloo withholds prestigious coding competition results over suspected AI cheating - The Logic
Students submitted code they didn't write themselves, contributing to widespread rule-breaking
Eh, it's not cheating if you're get the right result. But AI usually makes mistakes, so using AI isnt a good idea.
It's a coding contest. Your position is the same as, "It's okay to use forbidden performance enhancing drugs in competition as long as they work and you don't get caught. But it's hard on your health so it isn't a good idea."
Nah, performance drugs help you.
AI outputs usually is misinformation hallucinations. Its more likely to harm you than help you.
The test is largely about your knowledge of algorithm design and your ability to problem solve. The actual coding part is trivial if you're at all familiar with your language of choice.
AI is very good at those two things. Yes, it sometimes has hallucinations and is wrong, but even with the least refined prompts on the free version of chatgpt, it could probably do quite well on the test.
