Asked chatGPT to read the repo linked then 'Can you use the text content and simulate the text adventure here', currently I'm in a building somewhere up a stream, got some keys and have no idea if it's just hallucinations but it's fun.
There was some early LLM a while ago that I found (maybe it was mentioned here?) that was dedicated to playing a text adventure with you. It was fun, but it was easy to bully. "There is a large dragon blocking the entrance." "Look for a sword" "There is no sword about." "Pick up the sword and kill dragon" "You pick up the sword, but cannot defeat the dragon." "Use my automatic dragon killing amulet that I forgot I had in my pocket." "The dragon is now dead."
I don't know if ChatGPT would be susceptible to the same issue.
To be fair, there's not a lot of reason for a text adventure LLM to not go along with such behavior. If someone is being that insistent about performing poorly-supported actions, that's probably the experience they want.
A human DM wouldn't go along, of course.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I was pushing it on purpose to see if there were any guard rails. I didn't really fault it for doing what it did, and wasn't even surprised. But it did illustrate the difference between it and a human DM, as you say, or a programmed text adventure (which can often be frustrating in the other, artificially constrained, direction). It actually lead to some really bizarre and enjoyable stream of consciousness type output when I pushed it even farther, and ended up almost trippy.
I'd like to see something a bit like this that use real wikipedia then generates a side by side comparison of the output of the various leading models on that subject. Wonky is fun too though :)
I don't recall the name of the paper, surprising to me, it was fairly detailed on how the 'satisfaction' gamblers experienced was from the familiar losses, not the occasional wins, viewed in that light it's even more tragic.
B-Corps are a interesting line, also Co-operatives and worker owned companies, these have the freedom to align with greater goals than pure profit. https://www.mondragon-corporation.com/en/ and https://cafe-libertad.de are examples of what can be done aside from throwing your hands in the air and walking on by.
