TL;DR: all keys are known because the list was seized after the war. However, this message was not previously decoded because the German operator mistyped the key, and also used a key from the wrong day.
This meant that ChatGPT didn't need to brute-force the entire key, just pick the correct one from the list and identify the typo.
A sufficiently dedicated human analyst could have done this; but they didn't.

Isn't that something of a given? If possible then a sufficiently dedicated human analyst could have done it. If impossible, ChatGPT couldn't have done it. Everything an AI ever has or will do is presumably going to be within reach of a sufficiently dedicated human analyst or a large enough team of them.
The only real learning here is another example of a task that would have required intelligence up until an AI does it, then we suddenly discover that analysts don't do anything requiring general intelligence.
Long-term, if we allow AI to manufacture machines, the set of such things is empty.
Immediate-term, it's pretty clear that natural division of labor is that computers do the thinking, and humans do the menial, manual work that requires mixing precision and power movements in field conditions.
Ironically the person verifying the output does both the thinking and doing in that regard. For without this - the output of an llm could be of zero value.

We change as a society the definition of intelligence to "what humans can do better than AI".
We end up in a world where AI is only worse than humans in things where we are worse chimpanzees.

Which would make 99% of us "not thinking" 99% of the time.
