Abstract
Georges Perec published a collection of short notes in the genre of postal cards. He made 3^5 or 243 cards that appeared occasional, but indeed followed strict combinatorial restrictions. These cards can be seen as one of the earliest examples of writing with the help of artificial intelligence, in Perec’s case, manually organized and executed.
