Thank you for trying. You are absolutely right. In my defense i released the very first 20 puzzles without proof reading them. I just wanted to see what the AI can deliver as a starting point and get an idea if crossword players would like or hate the general idea of it. I've just started seriously playing it myself and some clues are indeed strange. The clues were generated by gpt-4o. You can try later puzzles i did some prompt adjustments because i noticed the forced "in games" after 10 puzzles or so. It gets a bit better at later puzzles. Thank you for the feedback

Really goes to show how bad top-tier LLM's are at rather basic tasks like creating a clue out of popular media. This should be among the core competencies of major models with tons of available training data and simple summarization requests.
LLM Hallucinations are real. Admittedly for the prompt I provided just the word and some basic rules. It should be possible to increase the quality if e.g. I provide the sentence in which the word was used to the LLM. Nevertheless Hallucinations will always be a problem i think there is no way around a human quality gate in the process?
No it shows how important good prompting techniques are.
