> It's a prompt that makes an LLM turn iuqefxygn9urg0fh1 into a little Godot game. It's like a slot machine with no payoff, and the dog component is slapped on top of it and makes no difference whatsoever in the project.

Right, but it also has a "modern art" vibe to it that is fun. Silly, but fun. I think it's more about the initial prompting and feedback loop, the dog itself could have been replaced by /dev/random.

"Hacker curiosity" and "intelectual stimulation" are also subjective, but that's what HN is supposed to be about.

It seems to me a case of the blog post title inspiring the project, instead of the other way around. But I am particularly curmudgeonly today.

		That's ok. To be honest I had to suppress a similar feeling when I noticed the dog is just an entropy generator. But then I realized I find this kind of whimsy article more fun than a lot of what gets accepted unquestioningly here on HN. It seems light hearted and done in good fun, and it's engineering-related, so no harm done.
