I feel like if that question was asked when calculators were invented, and someone was claiming humans were still better at arithmetic than machines, that it would be appropriate.

I was surprised reading through this problem that the machine solved it well at all.

I get that it’s a leet code style question but it’s got a lot of specifics and I assumed the corpus of training data on optimizing this type of problem was several orders of magnitude too small to train an LLM on and have good results.
