Chat GPT Choose Your Own Adventure.

Post by Kyle »

Let's play this! I told Chat GPT:

Here's the response:
Chat GPT wrote:Great! Let's begin.

You find yourself in a dark forest. The only light comes from the moon shining through the trees. As you look around, you notice a path leading in two directions. Which way do you choose?

1. Follow the path to the left.
2. Follow the path to the right.

Type in either "1" or "2" to make your choice.
Oooo! Which do we do? Which do we do?

I agree!

1. Keep walking and ignore the noises.
2. Stop and try to investigate the source of the noise.

I'm thinking ignore, but think either one of these could be the insta-"End of Story" choice.

You decide to keep walking and ignore the noises. As you continue down the path, the rustling fades away and you start to feel more at ease. Suddenly, you come across a clearing in the forest. In the center of the clearing, you see a small cabin. Do you:

1. Approach the cabin to see if anyone is home.
2. Stay hidden and observe the cabin from a distance.

1. Stay hidden and keep watching.
2. Retreat back into the forest.

Either way, I'm happy. But nothing's happened so far, so I say we stay hidden and keep watching, and hopefully someone comes up and confronts us. Although, I feel kind of like a creepy peeper now.

You decide to stay hidden and keep watching. As you observe, you see an old woman exit the cabin. She appears to be carrying a basket of herbs. She walks around the clearing, tending to the plants and muttering to herself. After a few minutes, she heads back into the cabin and turns off the light. Do you:

1. Approach the cabin now that the woman has gone inside.
2. Wait a while longer and keep watching.

You decide to approach the cabin now that the woman has gone inside. As you get closer, you notice a strange symbol etched into the door. You're not sure what it means, but it gives you a feeling of unease. Do you:

1. Knock on the door and ask the woman for help.
2. Turn around and leave, deciding it's not worth the risk.

Listen- we're pot committed to seeing what's in this cabin. So I say we go in.

Thought: what if instead of knocking on the door and asking the woman for help, I choose neither and just tell Chat GPT, "I knock loudly on the door and demand that she open up." OR Instead of leaving I say, "I quietly sneak to a window and look inside."

It would be interesting to see what it does if you do something other than either of the presented options. I'm for trying to look in a window.

You decide to wave and try to make friendly contact. The woman looks surprised but doesn't seem hostile. She gets up from the table and approaches the window. She opens it and greets you.

"Hello, my dear. What brings you here?"

You explain that you were lost in the forest and stumbled upon her cabin. The woman smiles warmly and invites you inside.

As you enter, you notice the shelves are filled with jars of herbs and strange objects. The woman offers you a cup of tea, and you start to feel more relaxed. Do you:

1. Ask the woman about the symbol on her door.
2. Thank her and make your way out of the forest.

Type in either "1" or "2" to make your choice.
OR- and this is just a suggestion, we can ask to use her restroom and then rifle through her medicine cabinet!

"2. Thank her and make your way out of the forest."

Wow, that's one of the only two options it could come up with? I'm for asking about the symbol on the door, but if you want to try scoring some elderly meds first, that's fine by me.

You decide to ask the woman about the symbol on her door. She looks at you with a serious expression.

"That symbol is a warning to keep outsiders away. This forest is full of dangerous creatures, and it's not safe for travelers."

You start to feel uneasy again, but the woman continues.

"But since you've already made it this far, I suppose you can stay here for the night. It's not safe to travel in the dark."

Do you:

1. Accept the woman's offer and stay the night.
2. Insist on leaving and risk traveling through the dark forest.

Does anyone else find this game boring? Compared to what the AI is doing in the RPG we're running, this is disappointing to me.

I almost feel like we should pick something outrageous like, "I take out my pocket version of the Necronomicon and I prepare a spell that's going to trap the old lady in a pentagram because I can see through her glamour and I know she's a demon."

You hear strange noises coming from outside, and you start to feel uneasy again. Do you:

You decide to get up and investigate the noises. As you step out of your room, you see the old woman standing in the hallway. She looks surprised to see you.

"What are you doing up?" she asks.

You explain that you heard some strange noises and wanted to check it out. The woman nods understandingly.

"It's probably just some of the creatures that live in the forest. Don't worry, they won't bother us in here."

She offers you a cup of tea, and you sit down at the table with her. As you drink your tea, you start to feel more at ease. The woman tells you stories about her life in the forest, and you listen intently.

As the night wears on, you start to feel tired again. The woman offers to show you back to your room, and you agree. As you lie back down in bed, you feel safe and comfortable.

Do you:

1. Drift off to sleep.
2. Stay awake and keep watch just in case.

You decide to drift off to sleep. As you close your eyes, you feel a sense of peace and security. You sleep soundly through the night and wake up feeling refreshed.

As you prepare to leave, the woman hands you a small bag of herbs and wishes you safe travels. You thank her for her hospitality and make your way out of the forest.

Do you:

1. Return home and continue with your normal life.
2. Explore the forest further to see what other secrets it holds.

You decide to explore the forest further to see what other secrets it holds. As you venture deeper into the forest, you come across a hidden clearing. In the center of the clearing, there is an ancient stone altar.

You feel drawn to the altar, and as you approach, you notice strange markings carved into the stone. You start to feel a sense of foreboding, but your curiosity gets the better of you.

Do you:

1. Inspect the markings closer to see if you can decipher their meaning.
2. Decide to leave the area and continue your journey through the forest.

Well this adventure went from 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye.
You decide to inspect the markings closer to see if you can decipher their meaning. As you study the markings, you begin to feel a strange energy emanating from the altar. Suddenly, a portal opens up, and you are pulled inside.

You find yourself in a strange dimension, with towering mountains and a blood-red sky. You realize that you have stumbled upon a realm of the ancient gods, and you feel both awed and terrified.

As you explore the realm, you come across a group of cultists performing a dark ritual. They notice you and begin to attack. Do you:

1. Fight back with all your might.
2. Try to reason with the cultists and convince them to stop their ritual.

You decide to fight back with all your might. You draw your sword and face the cultists, who are armed with dark magic and other deadly weapons.

The battle is intense, but you fight with all your strength and manage to defeat the cultists. As their bodies fall to the ground, you notice an ancient artifact lying in the center of their ritual circle.

Do you:

1. Take the artifact and try to unlock its secrets.
2. Leave the artifact behind and try to find a way out of the realm.

So much for avoiding violence and harm to others! But I guess it's okay if their cultists??? And may I say, we've been carrying a sword this whole time?!

I vote for option 3: destroy the artifact. If evil cultists were using it for a ritual, I'm assuming no good can come from it. But if someone wants to take it and try to unlock its secrets, that might be interesting to see where the AI takes us.
