I became disillusioned with generative AI in 1995.
"Wrote some c code that read in a text file, constructed a frequency table showing how often each letter came after each letter then randomly generated words using the frequency table to determine probabilities.
If you give it a german file, it comes up with german-like words. Feed it it's own source code, and it comes out with crap, unfortunately.. I was hoping it would write some new programs for me :)"
