In his 1964 collection *The Cyberiad*, Stanisław Lem presents a prophetic allegory regarding the development of Large Language Models (LLMs). The narrative follows the robot inventor Trurl, who attempts to construct an electronic poetry machine by utilizing several hundred tonnes of books as training data. To accommodate this massive dataset, the construction requires data storage containers of immense physical scale. When traditional logic circuits fail to produce desired results, Trurl replaces them with "narsistors" to achieve functionality. The testing phase involves complex "prompt engineering," where users provide multifaceted instructions, such as requesting pastoral love poems integrated with mathematics and cybernetics. The machine's high-quality output triggers societal unrest, including protests from poets and media outlets that covertly utilize the machine for low-cost content generation. This mirrors modern concerns regarding AI-generated media and "AI psychosis." Ultimately, the machine's deployment leads to catastrophe due to astronomical electrical costs; Trurl eventually offloads the device onto a dignitary, leading to a supernova. While Lem’s fiction posits that the machine's superiority stems from its ability to outproduce human creativity, the article notes that modern LLMs achieve similar societal disruption despite producing often mediocre content. Furthermore, the story lacks the concept of prompt injection attacks, a vulnerability that would not appear in literature until 1993's *Paranoia*.
