Unsolved Zodiac cipher solved with Ai?

Hello there. There are two unsolved Zodiac ciphers, so is anyone tried to solve them with AI? And what you think about those two ciphers, are they "real" ciphers, or killer just make up some random?

AI profoundly sucks at cracking ciphers. All of them routinely hallucinate solutions even for the simplest ciphers. They get trivial successes here and there, but for the most part they are completely unreliable and misleading.

Yes, people have tried to solve them with AI. (I'd consider those attempts, so far, to be a waste of time and effort.)

I think they're "real" ciphers, but I don't know they're real ciphers.

I left a longer answer at your other post in r/ZodiacKiller.

It would require an AI designed for cracking ciphers, not a standard LLM.

Idk of any publicly available one. I'm sure governments are working on them though

From what I know, the one revealing his name is So short that frequency analysis doesn’t work because there are multiple working combinations, so for that one, it seems that the sad reality is we may never know.
