I've watched several videos about AI and copyright, mostly focused on the music industry, but the core principles apply to all creative fields. Under copyright law, simply prompting an AI to generate a solution is not enough to claim copyright on the result, since this does not demonstrate sufficient human authorship.

However, the bar for considering your interaction with AI as creative assistance—rather than just prompting—is quite low. If you interact with the AI in an iterative or interactive way, such as debating ideas or refining outputs (and your creative input is evident in the final work) you are generally recognized as the copyright holder of that solution.

Beyond legal considerations, be aware that there may be additional rules or policies on specific platforms (such as Codewars) regarding AI-generated content. Always review the code of conduct and any relevant disclaimers to ensure compliance.

The restriction is against AI-generated code. Using AI to help solve (in the sense of figure out a good algorithm, formula, etc) seems fair play in my opinion, just like using OEIS or any other internet resource. Whether or not solving tasks like this are still fun is another, subjective matter.

I've been around for a long time, but I was not aware of the reference to AI in the code of conduct (it was probably not included 10 years ago...)

Nevertheless, if I did not include the comments, would you have still detected the "cheating"? 😉
