#3This year might be the gpt4 speedrun mode.
I still prefer to do it manually since casually tackling it is a great way to learn a new language or refresh past knowledge!

#4It's a tough day 1, I hope it doesn't scare off too many people. Normally day 1 is just some variation of "add numbers in a list", but this year has a mean pt 2 and a few traps for people to fall into.
I wonder how long the global leaderboard will stay up before it gets hidden due to people solving with ChatGPT?

The “learn a new language” is how I used it casually for a handful of years (and it’s great for that).
Last year is the first year I put serious effort into completing all of it (driven by a private leaderboard which made the accomplishments more personally rewarding).
If you’ve got a group of friends/colleagues who could use a little competitive motivation, consider making and joining a private leaderboard (free as in beer).

See FAQ on using AI to get to the leaderboard: https://adventofcode.com/about#faq_ai_leaderboard.
And I wouldn't say day 1 leaderboard is surprisingly fast compared to other years. Time will tell, but I think LLMs will fall apart on hard problems. Typing speed will not be a limiting factor there.

This year they politely ask people not to
use LLM solutions until the days leaderboard is full.

#8Last year there were people solving the puzzles with LLMs, but I don't think I saw anyone get past day 5 or so.
I'm interested in how well it goes this year.
Please reply if you are trying yourself or can link to public attempts by others

Yeah, usually I get to around day 10 without bigger problems. This year I am already frustrated with day 1 part 2 :-)
