Resuscitating a Dead Rabbit
Wayne Clements · Electronic workshops in computing · 2020
This paper is about the computer-generated Little Grey Rabbit stories of Professor Eric Mendoza. This (and its sister-work, High Entropy Essays) dates from the early 1960s and is one of the first examples of a fiction-writing computer program. The programming is innovative for its time and still has value as an approach to the challenge of creating literature using a computer. This approach is contrasted with contemporary AI methods of text generation.
