Upper left corner is row 1 col 1.
If r12c13 is filled in:Then (green) r12c9 through r12c12 must also be filled in, r11c10 through r11c13 must also be filled in, r9c9 and r9c10 must also be filled in.
Then (blue) r11c14 can’t be filled in. Thus col 14, rows 12 through 15 can’t be filled in.
Then (orange) r12c7 and r12c8 must be filled in. Thus r11c7 must be filled in, but this breaks the clue “4 1” for row 11.
Conclusion: r12c13 is NOT filled in.

Stupid chatbot can’t even tell me if this #nonogram is solvable with logic alone, and can’t even admit that without 10 prompts. Why are we trusting LLMs with important questions?
