...so they both go their separate ways, the innocent coworker couldn't come up with anything, the prankster let you paste in something to the program and "a few minutes to hours later" it would spit out what it recognized!
An amazing feat of engineering, etc, etc. Co-worker tries to show it to a friend a few weeks later, prankster had to confess that it just emailed him the text, he would respond (manually) with the answer, and the program would insert a plausible/configurable delay before showing the (human-generated) response of "interpreting figlet".
Now? Just feed it to an LLM.
