Mr. Funk E. Dude 🍑💨Telling my kids that this was the first generative AI.

@Mrfunkedude not AI, though it prob counts for a primitive form of algorithmically generated art
@reiddragon Shhhh...🤫 don't tell the kids.
Duke@Mrfunkedude "I can't believe it. I just can't believe it--the things I can do with my Spirograph!" 🎶
Why yes, I did grow up glued to the dumbbox every Saturday morning, why do you ask?
Willow 🏳️⚧️🏴🇵🇸@Mrfunkedude that thing AND the colour changing pens. 🤯
Third spruce tree on the left@whangdoodler @Mrfunkedude Vuarnet colour changing t-shirts.
Khleedril@Mrfunkedude They did tend to jump and wander off on their own account..
DarlavdRiet@Mrfunkedude I loved that thing!!

This is a declarative, inspectable, and deterministic algorithm that is not being sold waaay under cost price. Using a spirograph will make you think and learn instead of keeping you dumb. Using it will not kill our planet. You won't grow dependent on it and the price to use it won't increase once you do depend on it.
It's very hard to see any possible relation to LLMs.
Edit: other than maybe that both can be entertaining and are otherwise completely useless.
