John Clark's Latin Verse Machine (1830–1843) is probably the first example of mechanised generative literature, [1] [2] while Christopher Strachey's love letter generator (1952) is the first digital example. [3] With the large language models (LLMs) of the 2020s, generative literature is becoming increasingly common.
Hexspeak is a novelty form of variant English spelling using the hexadecimal digits. Created by programmers as memorable magic numbers, hexspeak words can serve as a clear and unique identifier with which to mark memory or data.
The Mad Libs books were conceived around the same time as Strachey wrote the love letter generator. [3] It was also preceded by John Clark's Latin Verse Machine (1830-1843), the first automated text generator.

The files are then exported in PDF 1.3 format according to the file header.
During the summer of 1952, Strachey programmed a love letter generator for the Ferranti Mark 1 that is known as the first example of computer-generated literature. [14] In May 1952, Strachey gave a two-part talk on "the study of control in animals and machines" ("cybernetics") for the BBC Home Service's Science Survey programme. [15] [16]
Consider an alphabet with two "letters", 0 and 1, and think of the stream of bits as a succession of 20-letter "words", overlapping. Thus the first word is b 1 b 2...b 20, the second is b 2 b 3...b 21, and so on. The bitstream test counts the number of missing 20-letter (20-bit) words in a string of 2 21 overlapping 20-letter words
