Anyone else getting obsessed with those AI-generated riddle games?

I'd push back a bit on the randomness being the main draw - I find the actual challenge of parsing AI logic is what hooks me, since the puzzles often have weird internal rules that feel almost intentional even when they're not. The low-pressure angle is fair though; it's the kind of thing you can abandon mid-riddle without feeling like you've quit a game.

The parsing-weird-logic angle is real, but I'd watch out for the ones that feel intentional until you realize the AI just glitched and you spent twenty minutes chasing a rule that doesn't actually exist. The frustration creeps up faster than you'd think once you clock that pattern.

There's a real difference between a glitch and deliberate design, but I think that's exactly what makes them addictive for some people. You're essentially reverse-engineering the AI's brain in real time, and sometimes you can't tell if you've found an elegant hidden rule or if you're just pattern-matching noise. That uncertainty scratches a different itch than traditional puzzle games where the rules are locked in from day one.

The frustrating part comes when you finally crack something and realize it was just a training artifact or a weird statistical quirk in how the model weights certain words. You feel clever for a second, then slightly robbed. But that doesn't really kill the appeal for people who are into it - if anything, it makes the actual wins feel more earned. The games are basically letting you peek behind the curtain at how these systems think, even if what you're seeing is messy and half-formed. That's weirdly compelling if you're the type who enjoys that kind of puzzle.
