That's close to answering a question from a bit over a year ago: "in 5 years will there be an AI that's better than 90% of unassisted working programmers at solving new leetcode-type coding interview questions posed in natural language?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29020401

It didn't get a very welcoming reception -- "highly unlikely", and the tenor of other opinions in those comments then tended the same way. But I was being too conservative. (I thought so at the time but it felt sort of outside an Overton window of reasonable technology opinions.)

What? Leetcode is purely about memorization. Of course a model trained on those solutions will regurgitate them. That how humans do it!
