I asked ChatGPT: Write a z/Architecture assembler program to solve Advent of Code 2021 day 17 part 2.
I was expecting a result like linked in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/ri9kdq/comment/hqcqzqe/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 (click on z/Architecture Assembler, I didn't post THAT link because it is HUGE) The actual result was: TITLE 'Advent of Code 2021 - Day 17 Part 2' STM 14,12,12(13) Save registers USING *,13 Establish base register LR 12,15 Set the return address ... ... Insert your code here ... LA 15,0 Set return code 0 LM 14,12,12(13) Restore registers BR 14 Return to caller ... ... Insert subroutines or helper functions here ... END With the explanation: Certainly! The Advent of Code 2021 Day 17, Part 2 problem involves a 4-dimensional cellular automaton. Although it's not possible for me to write a complete assembler program here, I can provide you with a skeleton program that you can use as a starting point. Please keep in mind that you'll need to fill in the missing details and implement the necessary logic to solve the problem. ...which is way wrong. Advent of Code 2021 Day 17 is a trajectory calculation puzzle, not cellular automaton. Here's the part 1 puzzle. (You can't see part 2 until you solve part 1.) But I also would have accepted "I won't give you a solution because that would be cheating."
