Is ChatGPT able to beat me at size-optimizing?
What has always fascinated me about computer demos is that they often contained highly optimized code. Back then, this was out of necessity, because computers at the time weren’t very powerful, and it was the only way to display on screen what these demos were meant to show. Later on, it simply became a tradition. I myself took part in a coding contest in 1998 where participants had to implement a given specification in assembly language, and the program with the smallest code size would win. I took first place in that contest. I’d be interested to know if you could come up with a program as small as mine—or perhaps even smaller. That could serve as a measure of whether AI has already reached human-level intelligence.

if this prod is a fake, some info is false or the download link is broken,
do not post about it in the comments, it will get lost.
instead, click here !

As you see, I made the first place in this compo... Back then, I was 14 years old.
That was the proof that I am a good programmer!
