How a Mysterious Manuscript Keeps Confounding AI

Playbook for the Cult of Isis, herbal health instructions, details of the benefits of therapeutic bathing, or a written history of speaking in tongues. Probably, but not as much as most are when they come face to face with the Voynich Manuscript. That each of the above is a proposed theme for its indecipherable scribbles indicates the level of confusion. A brief meditation on the sentence "a written history of speaking in tongues" should also help you get in the confusion ballpark. Written in the early parts of the 15th century, the manuscript, a 240-page compendium of seemingly illegible and likely codified text, has amassed a proud track record of confounding scholars and eminent code breakers, including Alan Turing, alike.
