Ask HN: Have we proven the infinite monkey theorem?

I have just realised, LLMs have proven the infinite monkey theorem. Instead of monkeys, we have weights. Billions of them. Banging randomly and voila, we magically have Shakespeare :)

You make a good point. There is a finite number of LLMs, which is the same thing as an infinite number of LLMs so therefore yes
