      I didn’t spend much time setting up the room. I was primarily trying to combine cat and grep to demonstrate the ‘useless use of cat’ initially.

      • Grep: images visualizing the 'grep' command in the context of vast libraries, devoid of natural elements. These visuals emphasize the idea of searching through expansive knowledge.
      • Cat: emphasizing the cat's active role in releasing knowledge from the book. Each image captures the essence of the 'cat' command in an elegant setting.

      This didn’t turn out well, so I considered different commands. Then I remembered the fork bomb. DALL-E 3 provided images of servers exploding, and I responded with ‘no tech’. The subsequent images showed an exploding pond, and I commented: It doesn’t have to be in nature, I just thought computers were way too obvious to include. Avoid advanced technology.

      It responded with “Understood. Let’s try a different approach, avoiding advanced technology but not necessarily sticking to nature. I’ll focus on capturing the overwhelming and rapidly multiplying essence of the fork bomb in a unique setting.”

      Then it gave me that blue potion with the bubbles and some kind of clock.
