I mean we are neither endless nor monkeys, if we want to be pedantic and fake smarts.

But neither of those statements is true. They're both finite.

Thus far neither the number of humans nor the words we produce has reached an end, so I think the term "endless" is currently valid

If humanity is finite or infinite no one today can tell. Only the last living human might know it sometimes in the future, while dying. But then he/she might not even know that he/she is the last one. So we never can tell ... :-)

There are more humans alive in the moment I am posting this than I can conceive of, and there have been more *times* that many across the history of humanity than I can conceive of, and each one has a rich inner life and ideas and emotions each waking moment,
AND ONE OF THEM ALREADY WROTE HAMLET!!!!

I should not admit this, but my golden retriever boyfriend recently confidently told me that humans aren’t mammals—they’re primates like apes 🤦‍♀️

Fun development in evolutionary biology in the last few decades, the introduction and acceptance of cladistics which sorts apes as a subset of monkeys. With Cladistics everything is a subset of the broader evolutionary ancestor.

Technically, more than one of us “wrote Hamlet,” as Shakespeare’s play of that name was one of multiple adaptations of an older work.

that's how I describe generative ai to people as they understand it doesn't do context or care about the results other than sounding good.

Guys I put it here because I it's a funny joke, not for its merit as an actual argument on randomness and probability. You are all correct but there's no need to fact check the joke
