Ethan Mollick prompted Claude to "pick a problem or mystery that obsesses you and solve it as best you can & make a movie we can share on social media." Claude took a crack at the Voynich Manuscript, failed to solve it, and instead produced a movie that turns out to be an interesting watch and a solid explainer of the centuries-old mystery. Reshares call it the best thing they've seen on the subject.
