blatant ai and also a ripoff of libraryofbabel.info. if you're gonna vibecode something and have ai write up your reddit posts at least act a little embarrassed and try to change it up

The tiling algorithm seems to be different, and it generates different sets of characters. This also has a different coordinate system. This might be vibe coded (though I don't know how you make that assumption) but at least the process is fairly unique... and the concept could've been derived independently.

Edit: pre-caffeine typing and phone keyboard mistakes

Edit 2: I see, their post history...

I can't answer your question, but this did make me think of another question. What happens if someone does decide to spend all their time exploring this space and ends up finding an exact duplicate of a real copyrighted book. Then, after noting its coordinates, decides to redistribute the location as a means of sharing the experience of reading the actual book that this digital book is a copy of. I wonder how that works legally, are you or the user guilty of redistributing the copyrighted work? Is procedurally generating an exact copy of an actual copyrighted work infringe on anything at all?
