Hello everyone! This is a joke website that is a play on https://thisxdoesnotexist.com/ type websites which generate images using GANs. I've put it together in an hour and thought it was hilarious. All it does is multiply 2 big numbers, ensuring that the result is a composite number. Therefore, it is not a prime.

Hope this is somewhat funny and lightens up your day.

Perhaps you can avoid the easy factors, like 2, 3, 5, 11, ... even 7 in case someone is too smart. This way, the number will "look" like a prime.

You're right! Added filtering for factors of 2 and 5.

What I really like is that a lot of the time it's obvious the number isn't prime, because it's either even, or ends in a 5!

Oh snap, you're right! This will be tricky to fix haha.

Update: fixed by regenerating until the number is not even or ends in 5.
