The Library of Babel, by Jorge Luis Borges is a short story that investigates the implications of a library whose inhabitants believed it contained every single combination of characters in every kind of order to form all possible content.

I got to bring this line of thinking up today at a work event and I was pleased with how it landed.

AI Art is trying to approximate an efficient enough Librarian of Babel that it can find the exact book you're looking for, if only you put in the correct query.

I'm of the opinion that finding a Library of Babel book that has "so little gibberish that you can hardly tell the difference between it and an authored book" does not mean that a real book has been found in the Library of Babel.
