@elight@tenforward.social I'm thinking much more along the lines of genetic programming, where we have some objective, generate a bunch of programs against it, keep/mutate the good ones. That technique DEFINITELY came up with some creative approaches; LLM world makes the generate/mutate even more interesting. It is trivial to have SOME algorithmic creativity, generating a D&D character with dice demonstrates that.
What I'm getting at is we are creating new tools to explore the space of all possible programs.

@elight@tenforward.social Akin to finding the book in the Library of Babel instead of writing it, ala Borges, https://sites.evergreen.edu/politicalshakespeares/wp-content/uploads/sites/226/2015/12/Borges-The-Library-of-Babel.pdf But by shift I mean one more of perspective than of minute action.

@awwaiid@mastodon.social on your final point, indeed.
