![A screenshot from a Wolfram Mathematica notebook. The input is
```
NetModel["ConceptNet Numberbatch Word Vectors V17.06"][{"birthday",
"boy"}]
```
And the output is a long list of numbers -- vectors to encode the words "birthday" and "boy"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jfkzklyz4aehskqnfqrssiv7/bafkreielmspi3xl5eruc5hrj7pilsbxc546d6sqvdv6cp6qdi7ejyzdtem)
![A screenshot showing some AI-generated AES code. The code implements the shiftRows portion of an AES round. The code is as follows:
private static void shiftRows(byte[] s) {
// Row 1: shift left by 1
byte t1 = s[1], t5 = s[5], t9 = s[9], t13 = s[13];
s[1] = t5; s[5] = t9; s[9] = t13; s[13] = t1;
// Row 2: shift left by 2
byte t2 = s[2], t6 = s[6], t10 = s[10], t14 = s[14];
s[2] = t10; s[6] = t14; s[10] = t2; s[14] = t6;
// Row 3: shift left by 3 (or right by 1)
byte t3 = s[3], t7 = s[7], t11 = s[11], t15 = s[15];
s[3] = t15; s[7] = t3; s[11] = t7; s[15] = t11;
