so it was an interesting contest to say the least xD but what i want to talk about is using ai to cheat i think it is obvious that a ton of people cheated (very much so on f of div2) as a matter of fact 2 of my own freinds cheated (i wont say their names cuz i aint no snitch, at least for now) but even looking at random peoples codes for d,e,f and comparing them to a,b,c, i just cant shake the feeling that some cheated now i cant really prove they cheated, maybe they suddenly changed codding style and improved from lower rated to candis but i just wanted to share my opinion :)
Auto comment: topic has been updated by theSkeleton (previous revision, new revision, compare).
ok
cheating is honestly sad for those who do it :(
(also sad for those who don't cuz thier rate will unfairly drop lol)
Exactly!
Yeah, messed up some peoples experiences as well since f was solved by so many people
"2 of my own freinds cheated (i wont say their names cuz i aint no snitch, at least for now)".
Pick a side. Just making a blog wont help the community, if you actually could state the users, it wouldve not only helped the community, but also your friends who couldve realised that cheating wont make them any better
he aint no snitch
1898, so close yet so far to CM ;)
yeah it sucks
i got one wrong sub cuz i didnt flush lol and i was one wrong sub away from cm
Two of his friends: Shahrad_Mirzaei, FrontMan..
I will not confirm or deny this xD
Their F solution are the same
this one also looks sus.
baapji123_ is 100% a cheater.
5 wrong submissions on A, but solved F.
Look at this obviously GPT submission.
Yea, insane how he didnt even bother to remove chatGPT comments
// Additional redundant loop to obfuscate the code style further.I'm crying out loud
Surely this is a troll, chatgpt wouldnt write that
possible, chatgpt will write that if you told him to do this !
LOL thats insane
Can ChatGPT even solve problems like E and F? If it can, competitive programming is in real danger :(. I don’t understand why people cheat—maybe they’re just shortcut-seekers aiming for FAANG.
It depends. Sometimes it can. If you give it a hint then it will solve F or G. Codeforces should have separate pages for people who just want to test AI and don't want to compete.
Agree. I think we make two ways of participation in each contest. One way is to participate the contest with the help of AI, which should unrated. Another way is to participate the contest is with strict rules of using AI, with an extra interface for people to confirm that they will not use AI, notifying them the result of being detected is a ban. This may prevent those who use AI for fun.
rank 2 in today's div2, Manasvi is a cheater for sure. look into their profile and also today's submissions
omsincoconut look into this
omsincoconut mentioning again so that you dont miss it
mentioning him again won't help theres so many cheaters anyways and I doubt he can do anything about it
if such brilliant programmers managing this platform cant find a solution to handle this very serious problem , then its game over
he doesnt manage the platform, he just wrote a contest...
I know that , but there are many great programmers that contribute to this platform. Why cant they come together to find a solution to this
do you think they aren't trying? if they add an AI checker people will just find ways around it
No, even participants are doing more than them
diff-diff boilerplate codes , the pattern is exactly like LLMs write code , 10-15 comments and 3-4 diff classes in 3rd solution , similar in others. 100% that's a cheater.
Yea true, there should be a report button for cheating so people can mass report
Yes , they should do something about it. It has been a great platform for genuine learners, but now it is getting out of hand
i have his linkedin, he brags about his contest performance there too, i dont wanna ruin his personal life so I am not sharing but Manasvi not everyone is going to be like me, if someday this stuff enters your personal life, it will be hard to get a job. Refrain and delete your account
Suspicious submissions:
C: this
And F: this
another F:this and C: this
look at this account contest rankings lol, prabhashpadhan1889, reached from 10k ranks to 2 digit ranks in few days lmao
Manasvi C and everything almost Pew_Pew. F AND D
darcasterr F
the f solutions in particular are funny , just tried to hide the modinverse 16 and the mutliplication by making into multiple steps.
Quite shameful that these guys were previous experts lmao
wait what? if you're refering to the comments in the code, then i copied the power fxn from here
https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2078/submission/309818888 https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2078/submission/309822713
and this is yours https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2078/submission/309846060
dont tell me you cant see the similarity , the indentation of the formula writing as well compare first submission and yours . modinv 16 as well what a weird thing to do , and the 2nd submission tried to even hide the n-2 adding part by writing it as a variable
Yep another cheater confirmed. These mtf cheaters think we cannot detect it or sth
I do not wanna be racist but most of cheaters i have seen are Indians because they are doing CP forcefully, to just get rating.
As an indian, i agree, they do it for placements, which is sad since when they do get an interview opportunity they wont have the skills to pass.
Please check Raihan_Freeze, im not sure tho
