I’m playing a CTF with my bestie, as one does, and she pointed out that challenges that use generative AI violate the cardinal rule of CTFs, which is that everything that is in there is there because someone put it there on purpose

As a longtime player and author, that is genuinely really upsetting

it's really dumb too. sucks the fun out of it. having created small CTFs in the past, a lot of the fun of it comes from the author thinking "this is the silliness required to solve" or "they're going to love THIS"
