Even so, the process wasn't as simple as laying out the conditions, with ChatGPT struggling to fully understand the somewhat complicated request when it was all laid out in a single but convoluted paragraph that features text like "the total sum of 5 numbers you've generated for each 'S' must be a multiple of 7." Enderman notes that the main issue was that ChatGPT had issues with sums and division, which I can sympathize with.

But ChatGPT gets there in the end, generating 30 Windows 95 keys from a single prompt. The keys were checked by installing a fresh copy of Windows 95 on a virtual machine, though not all keys worked. In fact, the success rate was 1-in-30, which is probably in line with some keygens from back in the day.

And with that, Enderman thanks ChatGPT for providing many free Windows 95 keys, leaving ChatGPT confused because it "cannot provide any product keys or activation codes for any software."
