       @inecas @Axolotl1 @davidgerard In Gulliver's Travels, the Laputans had a machine called The Engine that put words together randomly, with scribes writing down any meaningful phrases that happened to be formed."Every one knew how laborious the usual method is of attaining to arts and sciences; whereas, by his contrivance, the most ignorant person, at a reasonable charge, and with a little bodily labour, might write books in philosophy, poetry, politics, laws, mathematics, and theology, without the least assistance from genius or study.”The Wikipedia page for The Engine currently says "See also Large Language Model".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Engine
