Stuck in the nose part? Maybe you should ask someone Artificially more Intelligent than you for help.

Don't give too much importance on the AI hint. It's not a mandatory step, it's unreliable, and at beast will just point you to the right direction. Prioritize using your brain on the nose hint/riddle.

Help, please! I can't find the answer that is under my nose.

You might want to put a / at the end as well. Without it, the link won't work even with the correct 5 character code.

BUMP!
Ok, found the first part, but I'm stuck on that :D

Like others, I'm not sure what to do with the 2nd part.

Not sure what left-right means, but no, there's no bruteforcing involved

I came across this while trying to crack the puzzle, and I can't help but feel a bit silly.

This artificially smarter being ain't too smart, I still had to rely on only my own fleshy organic brain to solve it.

Yeah, gotta consider that too when creating puzzles now.

It honestly never even occurred to me. Could be because my own attempts to get any straight answer from the Bing search chatbot that wasn't straight from Wikipedia or just obviously wrong ended in frustration but I don't really see the Intelligence in "AI" as sufficient to solve even a good riddle at this point.
Anyway, I'll keep torturing my human brain in an effort to do your puzzle justice.

AI could be wrong. Do fact check, don't like me (https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/TZ9aRTO).

lol yeah I once asked the Bing chatbot which game held the record for the most concurrent players ever on Steam and it said "Counter-Strike 2 holds the record for the most players online on Steam. It reached an impressive peak of 1,342,171 concurrent players"
Next to the answer, it shows its "sources", which was "Steamcharts".
Of course, not being able to help myself, I check the Steamchart page which was the Top Games By Current Players rankings, not the all time ranking.
I ask again and say "you're giving me the current ranking, I need the all time record" (which actually is PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS with 3,236,027 in 2018) and it replies "oh you're absolutely right, the all time record is Counter Strike 2 with 960,000 players" ....???
I ask "how is your second answer the all time record if it's less players than your first answer which was wrong?"
And again it replies "oh you're right of course, 1,342,171 is superior to 960,000"
Yeah I gave up and went digging on my own in Steamcharts. Turns out it was just doing a Bing search and spitting out the first result that seemed like it was in the ball park, ignoring the fact that the first result was current players and the second result was 2024 rankings. Oh well.

Wait, so is it a hint, or a joke towards people asking chatbots for help?

An actual hint, because it will (should?) nudge people towards the right direction, without actually solving the puzzle for them.

Wait is the hint just saying ask AI or is the hint saying something different? Multiple AIs have been of no help so just wondering if I'm missing what the hint is.

Honestly, I asked chatgpt once if any spanish king had written a book.
It confirmed that yes, Philip II had written a book, "Don Quixote", under the pseudonym of Cervantes. It really sounded convincing.
Never used it again. Tried again today, it had no idea.

lol yeah they call it "AI hallucinations". I call it BS.
Wake me up when they found the I in AI. Although probably will be too late by that time since geniuses are also giving it weapons... some of which would make Tolkien turn in his grave

Not everybody understood Terminator was a movie, not an instruction set :(

In case you're new to puzzles, usually the objective is to obtain the unique 5 characters code of a private giveaway:
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX/
GAs include The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, Loddlenaut, SATANIC PANIC 666, Heretic's Fork, Edge of Reality, and more.
As always, I will provide hints if nobody gets it, and I will share the solution when the puzzle ends.
Have some music, good luck solving the puzzle!

once decoded becomes
The answer is right under your nose
A7 z3 a2 q6 Z7
.
This is a code that depends on your keyboard (under your nose).
If you ask an AI chatbot for help on this step, it will probably not gonna be able to solve the puzzle itself, but it should be successful at guessing it has something to do with your keyboard.
I made sure to create a code that included the letters Q, A and Z for a reason. If you're using a default QWERTY keyboard (the standard keyboard used worldwide, sorry AZERTY bros), you will notice that these are the first letters of each row of letters.
The number stands for the nth character on that row of letters.
The capitalization of Q, A, Z indicates the capitalization of the resulting character.
z3 = c
a2 = s
q6 = y
Z7 = M
The code you're looking for is JcsyM
