The Infinite Monkey Theorem posits that a monkey randomly pressing keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time would almost surely produce any given text - eventually even the complete works of Shakespeare. This thought experiment illustrates the power of probability stretched across infinite time.
For years, the idea was dismissed as a whimsical improbability. After all, could randomness truly replicate genius?
But now, with the rise of artificial intelligence, a new question emerges:
Is AI the modern monkey?
Can it, through vast data and sophisticated algorithms, recreate the brilliance of Shakespeare - not by chance, but by design?
