Recursion into Madness
Summary
Recursion into Madness is a reflective piece on how generative AI prompts can loop and degrade outputs, using a Chandler passage rewritten iteratively by Gemini. The author documents an extensive, multi-step prompting experiment to demonstrate how outputs evolve, devolve into elaborate metaphors, and eventually stabilize, while also discussing text versus image generation challenges and tangential notes about Pangram tests and non-ML topics.
