Many years ago I spent a lot of time on a website called Personality Forge, where you would create chat bots very similar to this and set them loose. They could then talk to other people or each other and you could review the transcripts. At one point I even entered my chat bot in The Chatterbox Challenge. It was so much fun to work on this thing at the time, but when I rediscovered it years later[0] I was mostly just disappointed in how "fake" all that effort was.
Now here I am talking about life, the universe, and everything with ChatGPT. It makes me both inexplicably happy/hopeful and simultaneously weirdly melancholic.
The great thing about being a teenager or kid is that you don’t know why the grownups don’t think your project is worth doing, so you just do it. Even if it doesn’t change the world (most things don’t, after all) you can still learn something and have fun.
