In defense of plagiarism and AI

There is a theory that states
If you place an infinite number of monkeys
In front of an infinite number of keyboards
They will eventually write
All the great works of literature

“to be, or not to be,
That…is the gazzerninplat”

to be continued

Yes! I was caught laughing on the last line - now to invent the gazzerninplat - the AI monkey sure knows how to do syllables (and I'm sure gazzerninplat will become a thing if it isn't already - maybe a word for something that almost goes into space but always crashes before getting into orbit).

They might write all the great works (as if) but not even a monkey would plagiarize from another monkey.

Always been a dumb theory! Now if you put people in front of a keyboard eventually they will come up with AI
