Autism here, but the whole point of the infinite monkeys is it's completely random chance, not a bearing on quality.
Saying the art of the deal keeps coming up is just implying that there's some kind of karmic meme magic trying to constantly conjure more copies of it into reality.
Never let facts get in the way of a good joke. Or in this case, political commentary pretending to be a joke.
Meme magic is real.
Right. The author misunderstands the original meaning and showcased their ignorance by spending a few hours doodling a self-righteous self-own.
It's not a terribly well thought out metaphor either, because without a proofreader, anything the monkeys type will be ruined by excessive typos and illegible grammar.
It really is the blurst of times
No, the point of the thought experiment is that pure random chance will produce pockets of seemingly non-random output, and with a sufficiently large sample size pure random chance will produce pockets of every seemingly non-random output including a copy without typos and poor grammar. Of course, finding the right passage among the infinite pages of gibberish is impossible, but it would be there, somewhere.
The odds required are so astronomical that the end result is literally impossible to acquire in any meaningful fashion. Even if it may "be there, somewhere" a grammatically correct passage is still essentially useless gibberish without context.
