Article goes into detail how it was solved, and why previous approaches failed. It does not appear to have stolen anyone else's ideas.

By the nature of LLMs and how they work, stealing people's ideas is all they do...
They probably scaned a manuscript from some unheard of eastern european mathmatician that wrote in some long forgoten Cyrilic "heres how you can work it out. Im going to leave working out the cypher as an excercise for the reader... Look, its a cypher, its easier to prove the math that solves it than it is to acctually solve it. Thats how cyphers work"
Can tell you didn't even read it
Now do the Voynich Manuscript.
PR stunt
From an independent researcher?
Yawn, waiting for Linear B
