The infinite monkey theorem, the idea that an infinite number of monkeys tapping at an infinite number of typewriters would eventually result in one of them writing Hamlet has penetrated deep into our collective consciousness. It’s a standard bit of mind bending fare which until recently meant nothing very much at all, because after all, so what?
Chat GPT has changed all of that. We are on the verge of having if not an infinite number of monkeys then a very, very large number of semi intelligent AIs tapping away at keyboards. These will range from the useful: low-level medical and accountancy services for instance, through to the cultural. The games world is excited by the possible ways in which players can tweak their game to match their particular aesthetic.
