The advent of code problems have gotten beyond the "easy to solve" category. Days 5 and 6 have gotten more tricky.

> This day actually threw me for a loop because parsing the input is so challenging. After spending a while on prompting I wasn't able to produce anything meaningful. I might actually stop after today if the puzzles keep getting harder because I don't want to spend all this time messing with input parsing. This highlights some of the limitations well, we still need human input to coax the model into understanding how to break down a hard problem.

A little hint for parsing Day5 -- Regex is your friend.

I didn't have a problem with it... but its a "how do you get to the spot where its mostly bug fixing using ChatGPT and prompts?"

For that repo (not mine - mine is over at https://github.com/shagie/AoC_2022 ), day 5 is where they got to the point where the complexity of the description of the problem is greater than the complexity of the problem itself.
