I played around with it but I don't have a clue what I'm doing. Managed to make this pretty geometric shape based on one of your examples though: https://susam.net/cfr.html#B15F15CRE6RF2BR2FE6CE3

I wonder what an AI could design with instructions for how to use this.

Thank you for some interesting reading!

I tried asking chatGPT to use it, removing the colour instruction to reduce complexity. After clarifying what each instructions does and providing some documented examples, it could write syntactically valid programs, but they never drew the shape or pattern it explained they would. I think the language being repetitive strings of characters doesn't mesh well with predicting tokens.


Maybe try adding spaces between the letters and then mechanically remove those spaces when rendering.
