is using chatgpt during online contest illegal???

Well i know that it is not good overall.

chatgpt says----> As an AI language model, I cannot give a legal opinion or advice. However, using external sources during an online coding contest like Codeforces may be considered cheating and a violation of the contest rules. Most coding contests prohibit the use of external resources, including chatbots or other online tools, to prevent cheating and ensure fair competition. It is always best to check the rules and guidelines of the particular contest you are participating in to ensure that you are not violating any rules.

ok if this is illegal then using codes directly from github pages for some implmentation must also be illegal??

chatgpt---->Using codes directly from Github pages for some implementation during a coding contest may also be considered cheating and a violation of the contest rules, depending on the specific rules and regulations of the contest. Many coding contests prohibit the use of pre-written code or code obtained from external sources, including Github or other online resources, to ensure fair competition and prevent cheating.

However, there may be cases where using code from Github is allowed or even encouraged, such as in educational or training contexts where the focus is on learning and collaboration rather than competition. It is always best to check the rules and guidelines of the particular contest or learning environment you are participating in to ensure that you are not violating any rules.
