This is super stupid.

“It would be straightforward to recreate the logic of bombes in a conventional program,” Wooldridge said, noting the AI model ChatGPT was able to do so.

Yeah because AI was trained on the works of Alan Turing and the others. This is like saying that I’m smarter than Turing because I can open a browser and look up how the enigma machine worked while it took months for them.

The rest of the job (the actual decrypting) was made by brute forcing solutions so it has nothing to do with AI. Again, I’m not smarter than old mathematicians because I can fire up wolfram alpha and solve integrals in seconds.

Slop
