Why the infinite monkeys with the infinite typewriters wouldnt end up writing a Shakespeare play.

it’s a thought experiment, it’s not describing anything real people would do.
given infinite time, all things that are possible will eventually happen.
there’s actually a site to demonstrate, [library of babel.](https://libraryofbabel.info) it uses a single seed to pseudo-randomly generate books (that is, while the books it generates are essentially random, everyone will get the same set of books because they use the same seed.
you type in a phrase you want to look for, and it runs the generator until it finds that phrase. it will find that phrase. pages are 3200 characters long and every possible combination of up to 3200 characters exists inside that infinitely long random string. for example, [see here](https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?l_pndf243). look in the middle
