										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Generative AI and the Library of Babel: Delusion or Reality. 
By  Azeez ADEOYE (Wizard Librarian)
The Library of Babel! It&#8217;s a fascinating concept that has captivated the imagination of many. The Library of Babel is a thought experiment proposed by Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges in his 1949 short story &#8220;The Library of Babel.&#8221;
<img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-3397 alignleft" src="https://optimisticscholar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-00.46.02_d007f337-232x300.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="300" srcset="https://optimisticscholar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-00.46.02_d007f337-232x300.jpg 232w, https://optimisticscholar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-00.46.02_d007f337.jpg 309w" sizes="(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px" />Imagine a vast, labyrinthine library containing every possible book that could ever be written. Each book has 410 pages, with 40 lines per page, and 80 characters per line. The library is infinite, with an endless number of hexagonal rooms, each containing 410 shelves, and each shelf holding 32 books.
Here&#8217;s the mind-boggling part: every book in the library contains a random combination of letters and symbols, meaning that most books are complete nonsense. However, because the library is infinite, it&#8217;s theorized that somewhere within its walls, there must exist books that contain meaningful information, including:
1. The complete works of every author who has ever written 
2. Every book that will be written in the future 
3. The secrets of the universe and the meaning of life 
4. Books that contradict each other, containing opposing truths
The Library of Babel raises intriguing questions about the nature of knowledge, language, and reality. It&#8217;s a metaphor for the search for meaning and the futility of seeking absolute truth. The library&#8217;s infinite nature and the randomness of its contents also allude to the concept of the multiverse and the idea that every possibility exists somewhere.
Borges&#8217; thought experiment has inspired philosophical debates, mathematical explorations, and artistic interpretations, cementing the Library of Babel as a cultural icon of intellectual curiosity and wonder.
Based on the nature of generative AI: the ability to generate original content from existing information. Much of the information that would be published from the inception of generative AI would be repetitive and lack originality.
Libraries, institutions, organisations, nations and all information-driven entities should develop ethical policies and practices for adopting and use of destructive technology. Before it generates into a singularity and extinction of human intelligence.
<blockquote>The end of the human race is what actors of the invention used to describe AI tools. 
Do you agree?
