Deepseek and Chatgpt can't solve simple newspaper crytogram.

[Marc51]

There is a lot of hype about AI taking over the world. I asked the above listed sites to solve an easy puzzle and it didn't get any letter right! It looks like they were trying to match quotes found in the literature. It also tried frequency analysis to no avail. Here is the puzzle:

YXOP TXZWT KNGMKTT SUK CMKHFT HZC GMHLKMT HZC UXGKT XY SUK EXMPAZW GKXGOK.
— UHZP EAOOAHFT

Folk songs express the dreams and prayers and hopes of the working people. Hank Williams
"people" always helps me get started.
I have to think that AI will get there to solving crypto's, only a matter of time.

Chat GPT is really bad at cryptology. I wondered if it was deliberately made like that to stop it being used by hackers to break data encryption

Chat GPT can code a puzzle solver GUI though. It doesn't solve the puzzle for you but lets you change the letters and solve it yourself. I made one on github but it seems I cant share it on here. It has some useful features like letter frequency counter and when you replace one letter it auto replaces all that letter in the cypher.
