Maybe better programmer not so much, but I'd say the spirit of AoC is to crack a puzzle and translate the solution into code. Solving this using LLM will not help you getting better at solving puzzles, solving puzzles, or grasp the main concepts of a programming language. In that sense, ChatGPT is not a pedagogical asset in this particular instance.

Obviously they get to defined whatever better means in the context of AoC. But better at AoC does not mean a better programmer in any way.
Surely not, but if you practicing to get better at programming using AoC, LLMs are unlikely to help you.
