"textContent": "I'm watching over my alma mater's capture the flag event, and wow, it is dire. This used to be a creative outlet for me and an educational opportunity for students, but now it's almost entirely uncritical use of genAI tools; challenge developers now are \"hardening\" their challenges against this, but this makes it totally inaccessible to new players, so it's losing its educational value and enjoyability as well. As a developer, why should I put any creative effort in when I know it's just going to be churned by a machine and not enjoyed by anyone?\n\nPerhaps I just want to commiserate, but I'm also genuinely curious: what outlets for you have been affected similarly by this new wave?",
