    About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

    \o/

    But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.

    The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever… with no end in sight.

    I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.

    I wonder what information that butterfly might’ve ended on if i let it continue…
