  2 minutes of hard work writing the prompt mentioning morphemes and the scuola medica salernitana.
  
  Then I clicked the "generate essay" button.
  
  The LLM cites references, not bad:
  
  

  Quote:Timm (2014, 2016) demonstrates that the majority of Voynichese word to‑
  kens can be organized into multidimensional grids, each centered on a core
  morpheme. For example, the “daiin” series contains variations such as
  “daiin,” “aiin,” “dain,” “ain,” and so forth, with substitutions and
  deletions governed by a set of morphophonemic rules:
  ・ “in,” “iin,” and “iiin” are interchangeable (e.g., “daiin” ↔
  “dain”).
  ・ “ch” and “sh” substitute for each other (“chedy” ↔ “shedy”).
  ・ “o,” “a,” and “y” interchange in certain positions (“ol” ↔
  “al” ↔ “yl”).
  ・ “k,” “t,” “p,” and “f” are variant forms, often substituting in
  medial or terminal positions.

  
  A little bit vague about the decryption of the recipes, but nice try:
  
  

  Quote:For instance, a typical recipe paragraph in the VMS may be parsed into a
  sequence: [verb morpheme] + [plant name morpheme] + [preparation mor‑
  pheme] + [application morpheme], with variations reflecting standard me‑
  dieval medical formulae. The frequent recurrence of such patterns, com‑
  bined with the alignment of morphemes to known medical vocabulary, sup‑
  ports the claim of successful decryption.

  That is far more fleshed out than the other LLM papers have been!

  Yes, I'm surprised. It is using the papers that it cites, mostly interpolating/extrapolating from them and not hallucinating hundreds of obviously wrong claims.

  But I'm still not adding you to The List.

  What happened to the list of intentionally fake solutions that actually look better than proposed solutions?
  This one perfectly fits the bill.
  
  Edit:
  
  OK, now I looked at the paper. A remarkable piece. It says nothing
