It was a simple way to highlight impulsive behavior common in modern users, and the trivial encoding function should be obvious to those who are minimally empathetic. Ask the LLM handler if being lied to makes people feel worse than getting robbed... then consider if you would hire such individuals.
If you are ever unsure of someones motives, than politely ask for context. Have a wonderful day =3

What is the impulsive behavior? Do you have a zero day in some ROT-47 decoder? Or perhaps a zero day in the file command in case a user creates a file containing the string and runs the command on it? Or is the string both a valid ROT-47 string and a valid executable on some platform?

Asking for context.

In general, the point was predicting statistical behavior is easy in large enough populations, and finding utility in that fact is trivial.
Exploits are boring, and thus have questionable utility in a proper business context. Don't worry about it... =3

No need for insults, I found it fun. ROTs are easy to detect because they usually still have word-length chunks, and common repeating symbols. In this case the '6's ('e's). This is something a language oriented AI is going to be very good at detecting. It's great demo of why hashing is so important.
If you don't see repeating symbols, it could be a running key, like a Vigenèr cipher.

If robots want in, they will get in eventually too, apparently.
