There has been recent buzz and discussion surrounding the potential of AI to be competitive in math and programming contests, prompted by recent initiatives such as the [AIMO prize](https://aimoprize.com/), which promises to award a $5 million dollar prize to an AI who is able to earn a gold medal at the IMO, and Google's [AlphaCode2](https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/123035), which has been claimed to be able to compete in Codeforces contests near the level of a CM.↵

Which of the following tasks do you think would be the most difficult and most impressive for an AI to accomplish:↵
↵
- Winning a gold medal at IMO [likes:1]↵
- Winning a gold medal at IOI [likes:2]↵
- Winning a Div. 1+2 Codeforces contest [likes:3]↵
- Writing/preparing a well-balanced, well-received Div. 1+2 Codeforces contest [likes:4]↵
↵
(You can vote for multiple options.)↵
↵
How soon, if ever, do you predict these milestones to be reached?↵
If an AI can beat the best humans at a Codeforces contest, what does this mean for the future of online programming competitions?↵
Is the ability for an AI to solve math and programming contest problems an indicator of its potential to produce novel math/computer science research?↵
Please discuss!
