Holy misleading Wikipedia articles, Batman! This article loves to pretend that a bunch of things that could I guess technically be termed AI have anything to do with the modern sense that's being pushed by the tech bubble. Electric Sheep uses a genetic algorithm wholly powered by knowing users. It is not generative AI. But if you read this article you sure wouldn't know that. Someone needs to take a hatchet to this article.

$Excerpt from Wikipedia about Electric Sheep: In 1999, Scott Draves and a team of several engineers created and released Electric Sheep as a free software screensaver. Electric Sheep is a volunteer computing project for animating and evolving fractal flames, which are distributed to networked computers that display them as a screensaver. The screensaver used Al to create an infinite animation by learning from its audience. In 2001, Draves won the Fundacion Telefónica Life 4.0 prize for Electric Sheep.$
