Once, someone asked me if it's legal to use ChatGPT in CF rounds. I suggested he not use it, because it may hamper his critical thinking. I know it's illegal to use published resources after the round starts. But ChatGPT is answering in real-time. Some people want to compare it with searching in Google. However, I know that ChatGPT matches the pattern with the existing data. Is there any official rule about using ChatGPT in CF rounds? If any, what is it? Update: Atcoder has published their generative AI rules for Atcoder Beginner Contests. Here it goes: https://info.atcoder.jp/entry/llm-abc-rules-en Should CF also do such a thing?

    But people use it for taking algo or ds template, or some math formula. Often it works.

You can use it. I've seen it being used in very creative ways to quickly implement some brute force problem that would otherwise take some time, or converting your python code to faster c++ code. Do keep in mind that it's pretty useless for the actual problem-solving aspect (it's rated 405) and will probably just frustrate you and/or otherwise waste your time.

The official codeforces ICPC rules state that you are allowed to use third party code, but even if it was not allowed, generative tools are pretty bad at solving >1000 rated problems (I tried it when I was solving problems off contest). Usually I only use AI when I don't understand the problem. Since generative AI tools is not mentioned in ICPC rules, it's your wish whether you want to use it or not
