Here is an example of Genetic Algorithm search.
It uses GA search to try to write the first line of Finnegans Wake.
This would be literally impossible to do by random search.

  • This is a hugely modified port of NOC_9_01_GA_Shakespeare_simplified from AI course by Daniel Shiffman.
  • The above was in Processing so I converted it to JS and P5.
  • I then found there is a P5 version!
  • Either way, many modifications have been made.
  • See his videos parts 9.1 and 9.2 and 9.3 and 9.4.

• Run it. Note it is much better than random search.
• Random search is like the Infinite monkey theorem - the chance of typing the sentence by chance.
