I was able to have AI generate an image that made this, but not by diffusion/autoregressive but by having it write Python code to create the image. ChatGPT made a nice looking clock with matplotlib that had some bugs that it had to fix

The program was written in 1988. I ran the text through LZSS which was published in 1982, so was available before 1988. I used a 1989 public domain version by Haruhiko Okumura, which is after 1988, but I don't believe it is optimized t
