Yeah, you would suspect that the individual elements of solving K4 exist in some LLM, but so far the LLM slop answers are just very confident and very wrong.
My biggest complaint is that the users aren’t skeptical. They don’t even ask the LLM to verify if the answer it just generated matches the known hints from the puzzle artist. Beyond that, they don’t ask it to verify whether the decryption method actually yields the plaintext it confidently spit out.
I’m super impressed with Claude Code, though. For my use case, planning and building iOS app prototypes, it is amazing.
