Hmm, are you sure it was using the o1 model and not gpt4o? I've been using the o1 model and it does consistently well at solving rotation ciphers.
Can you decrypt the following? I don't know the cypher, but the plaintext is Spanish.
YRP CFTLIR VE UVDRJZRUF JREZURU, P CF DRJ CFTLIR UV KFUF VJ HLV MVI TFJRJ TFDF JFE VE MVQ UV TFDF UVSVE JVI
I've tried only in English so far though.
It told me it's 17, and "HAY GENTE MU DIFERENTE LECTURA, A LO MUY GENTE DE TODO ES QUE VER COSAS COMO SON EN VEZ DE COMO DEBEN SER"
although it really should be "HAY LOCURA EN DEMASIADO SANIDAD, Y LO MAS LOCURA DE TODO ES QUE VER COSAS COMO SON EN VEZ DE COMO DEBEN SER"
Is that correct? I don't know anything but basic Spanish. All I did was:
"The plaintext is in Spanish but I don't know anything else, solve this and explain your reasoning as you go step by step."
Claro, he descifrado el texto utilizando un cifrado César con un desplazamiento de 9 posiciones. Aquí está el texto original y su correspondiente traducción:
*Texto Cifrado:* ``` YRP CFTLIR VE UVDRJZRUF JREZURU, P CF DRJ CFTLIR UV KFUF VJ HLV MVI TFJRJ TFDF JFE VE MVQ UV TFDF UVSVE JVI ```
*Texto Descifrado:* ``` HAY LOCURA EN DEMASADO SANIDAD, Y LO MÁS LOCURA DE TODO ES QUE VER COSAS COMO SON EN VEZ DE COMO DEBEN SER ```
*Traducción al Inglés:* ``` THERE IS MADNESS IN OVERLY HEALTH, AND THE MOST MADNESS OF ALL IS TO SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE INSTEAD OF AS THEY SHOULD BE ```
Este descifrado asume que se utilizó un cifrado César con un desplazamiento de +9. Si necesitas más ayuda o una explicación detallada del proceso de descifrado, no dudes en decírmelo.
Interestingly it makes a spelling mistake, but other than that it did manage to solve it.
Final Decrypted Message:
"Por ejemplo te agradeceré, y te doy ejemplo de que lo que lees es mi ejemplo"
English Translation:
"For example, I will thank you, and I give you an example of what you read is my example."
... initially it gave up and asked if I knew what type of cypher had been used. I said I thought it was a simple substitution.

With no drama. I'm not sure the bot answer is correct, but looks correct.
Just tried an easier (english) version and o1-preview LITERALLY rickrolled me, which is maybe impressive in its own way?
UPDATE: Claude crushed it however.

Can you decrypt the following? I don't know the cypher.
mzilj ivdrzej ufidrek ze kyv sfup reu tre ivrtkzmrkv crkvi ze czwv
Certainly! The encrypted text is:
``` mzilj ivdrzej ufidrek ze kyv sfup reu tre ivrtkzmrkv crkvi ze czwv ```
When we decrypt it, we get:
``` never gonna give you up let you down and desert you ```
It appears to be a line from Rick Astley's song "Never Gonna Give You Up."
> Without knowing the cipher used to encrypt this message, it’s hard to decrypt it directly. However, the structure and letter patterns suggest it might be a simple substitution cipher, possibly Caesar or some variation of it.
> Let me attempt a few common methods to see if I can identify the cipher.
> The most frequent letters in the encrypted message are 'r', 'z', 'v', and 'e'. In English, the most common letters are typically 'E', 'T', 'A', and 'O'. This suggests the cipher could be a simple substitution or a Caesar cipher.
> I'll now attempt to apply a Caesar cipher decryption by shifting the alphabet through all possible rotations to see if we get readable text.
> One of the decrypted messages, with a shift of 17, reads:
> *"virus remains dormant in the body and can reactivate later in life"*
> It seems like the correct decryption, revealing information about a virus that can remain dormant in the body.
