Just wondering if the Provue AI chatbot is ready to write my code for me?

The above is a “Tridigital” cipher. It contains the word “gilgamesh”. The steps to solve are
- identify the one number that represents a space between the words
- identify the candidate placement for gilgamesh
- place the now known letters under their coded number
- understanding that each number can represent up to three different letters, solve the cipher.
A human can do this, from scratch, in about 45 minutes (with good guessing). A 3 Ghz, 16GB RAM, PC can run for a day and still not solve it.
True, the solving quality/speed of the PC depends on the algorithm. But the point is, a human’s unique pattern recognition and imagination/intuition it still at the top of the food chain.
Even as I write this, I’m thinking of a better/faster method (than the 3rd party PC program) of using a computer as a solving aid for this type of cipher. That’s what we do; can can see a situation and come up with ideas.
I’ve spend a bit of time with ChatGPT-3. It’s great of answering questions - information lookup. But many programming sites - Xojo, SimplyFortran, etc. have posts about erroneous code, if any, presented by the AI bots. Clearly the bots don’t test the code before they offer it as a solution.
I wouldn’t toss your Panorama X reference PDF file away just yet.
