I just described it to my colleagues as > this uses GenAI in order to attempt being truly infinite, or at least not bounded by their ability to design and input combinations themselves It's fair to go for that name imho. Not strictly correct, but 100% fair.

That's just generative or procedural though. It's ok of course that it's not truly infinite, I'm just posting because it was disappointingly finite. There were concepts I was trying to build up to that simply didn't exist. So I'm not even sure if it's less bounded than human design, just less manual effort to build. All I'm saying really is, if it had just been called "AI Generative Craft" I would have had nothing to say in the comments. I would have gotten what I expected.

  Couldn't build up to doesn't mean they didn't exist... it took me a while to make a "Sandwich". But after spending enough (too much) time with it, I was able to construct some things that show it's not disappointingly finite: * "Bollygraff" * "Teen Mom 12" * "Hackimus Prime" * "Billionaire King + Sushi Burger Venus" (sic) One potentially frustrating part is that some things turn out to be black holes... for example, combine "Trump" with anything and it tends to return "Trump". There are also plenty of loops, and some that refuse to combine at all.

    You can combine Trump with the Empire State Building to get Trump Tower. Also I think Trump + Money was Bankruptcy. And there's Trumpthuluh obviously.

      I got Rich + Rich = Richer Richer + Richer = Richest Richest + Poop = Trump

        O got trump by making "god"+"a-hole" Then I did "T-Rex"+"trump" and I got "T-Rump" I was impressed by the creativity

      I forget how I got Trump (it was a different formulation than others mentioned though). But Trump + Titanic = Sinking Ship
