On the Usage of AI in Contests

Riolku posted on Dec. 29, 2024, 11:57 p.m.

Hello everyone,

As you are likely all aware, AI has improved dramatically at programming recently. Starting now, all usage of AI on rated contests is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to, ChatGPT and Copilot.

We thank you for your cooperation.

    Outside of contests, am I allowed to use AI to write code or get ideas?

    Interesting how this was detected and enforced just recently... but better late than never I suppose.

    I'm curious why this wasn't enforced sooner. AI tools have been capable at programming for a while now, so wouldn't it have made sense to prohibit them earlier if they give an unfair advantage?

      The last rated contest before this post was in August 2024. I don't think publicly released models were particularly good at solving competitive programming problems at that time.

      AI can't do so much with harder problems in the past.

    Do you have a way to detect if AI wrote the code? I see some results online, is that what you are using, and is it any good? Do you plan on using something like that in the future?

      I believe that DMOJ uses MOSS software to detect flags of plagiarism through similarity and admins will review the flags.
