   The alternative perspective is that many hundreds of millions of monkeys were given the opportunity and one of them eventually did come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. There was also just one Euripides.

     Thus proving that Monkeys create Art, not randomness? Intentionally defecating on a Computer seems awfully close to performance art
     O:)

     What I'm hearing is that in a month and half they got 2/11th of the way to spelling "Shakespeare" (S----s-----)

     So I think you really need to scale up either the number of monkeys and computers or the duration of the experiment before you can say anything with certainty! 😝

     @thomasfuchs speaking as a mathematician, any mathematician who would say that is a fool.

     It’s possible that someone or thing other than a human could have comparable intelligence as a human, and be capable of producing art, but the so-called AI of today is not.

     @thomasfuchs Just in case there’s anyone who doesn’t know, the Infinite Monkeys theorem is not about monkeys but about infinity. 🙄
