Iterative AI generation creates evolving terminal art, but remains a novelty.

Strengths

•Iterative generation where each prompt builds on currently running code

Weaknesses

•Author admits it's a toy with no clear practical use case
•Fun for minutes but lacks staying power beyond experimentation

Post Description

This is a small coding toy I made for fun. I think there are a few interesting ideas buried in it — curious what others think.
