Should we generate some solutions with Chat GPT?

It be interesting if we could squeeze some optimizations on the existing solutions using Chat GPT, what do you guys think of this?

I don't have a strong opinion about this in itself, but I do strongly feel that we should treat ChatGPT-generated solutions/optimizations the same way we have done those contributed/proposed by (other) contributors.

Over the past couple of years, we've settled on a few ground rules when it comes to adding new solutions, and accepting changes to existing ones:

• A new solution either has to add a new language, or use a significantly different new approach to solutions already in the codebase. In fact, they should preferably be faster than the existing solution for the language in question.
• When it comes to proposed changes to existing solutions, the original authors of solutions have a say in changes to their contributions, if they choose to respond to suggested changes.
• If original authors don't respond, the main criterion for accepting changes is that they objectively increase the speed (number of passes) of the solution a change is proposed to, and the main characteristics of the solution don't change.

I think all of those rules should still apply to any additions/changes made to this project, whether aided by ChatGPT (or any other AI model) or not.
