I get that it's a way to find out what GPT4 is capable of, but IMHO that defeats the point of a game like CTF.
It's like playing with an aimbot. You may be beating the other players, but where's the fun?

If I, as a person running a CTF, did not want my players to do this, I would set up a few problems which would have incorrect (but not obviously so) "solutions" generated when fed to LLM.
The Shamir's Secret Sharing reminds me of the time I was playing DEF CON CTF Quals, and had the bright idea to try to scan for challenges. I found one - it involved hiding fragments of a split secret in a modified version of ADVENT. I solved it. Even when the board was fully opened, it was nowhere to be seen. You does your hacks and you takes your chances...
Can you explain what this means? I don't understand, except for the split secret part.
Also: How did you do it?

DEF CON CTF quals is (or was) "Jeopardy" style with five categories with five problems each. The thing I found was not one of the 25 problems.
Sorry to the author and thanks for the article, I learned about lagrange interpolation.
