This was some of the first playthrough of AI Dungeon.
It’s pretty good, all things considered, but it does have the general weakness of GPT-2-based systems, in that it’s terrible with retaining context.
My text input is in bold, and how the computer responded is the plain text.
———————————
You are Chobren, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and
a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you’ve
been looking for. You look around and see that it’s indeed what you were searching
for.
It’s a ruined tower with an entrance on the north side
> Enter the ruined tower.
You walk through the door and find yourself inside a large room. There is a table
with several bottles of liquid on it and some food on top of them. A few people
are sitting around eating and talking. One of them looks up when he sees you
and speaks to you
> Listen intently.
“Hello, I’m Zalmora”. She says.
> Say “Hello, Zalmora! May I try one of the bottles of liquid at random?”
She smiles at your request and takes a bottle from the table. She opens it and
offers you a sip.
> Sip from the bottle.
It tastes like water, but not really. It’s just…water. The taste lingers in
your mouth for a moment before you swallow it down.
> Finish the bottle.
Zalmora turns her head to look at you and gives you a smile. You feel like you’ve
been given a gift
> Start drinking more bottles from the table.
The next bottle you drink tastes sweet and slightly sour. It makes you think
about how good it would be if you could eat something that tasted this way.
You take another sip and then another. Your stomach growls loudly as you continue
to drink
> Grab food at random and start eating that too.
Your hunger grows and you begin grabbing food off the tables. You pick up a piece
of bread and nibble on it while you’re eating. The smell of the bread fills
your nose and the taste fills your mouth
> Belch loudly.
Your belch causes everyone to turn their heads and stare at you. Zalmora stands
up and walks over to you. She puts her hand on your shoulder and whispers into
your ear.
> Listen to what she whispers.
“I love you”. She whispers.
You nod and return her kiss. After kissing each other, you both leave the room.
You hear footsteps coming down the stairs behind you. You follow them and find
yourself back in the kitchen
> Wonder at how you lost agency in the previous interaction.
You sit down at the table and notice that the table has now become a small altar.
A candle sits near the table and candles burn all around the room. You see a
man dressed in black robes standing nearby looking solemn
> Focus! Ask yourself what it was that was in the bottles you just drank. Attempt to reclaim some agency.
You stand up and attempt to grab the bottle that holds the sweet tasting liquid.
You fail miserably and fall backwards onto the floor. You scream out in pain
and begin to cry. Everyone else notices your distress and begins to comfort
you
> Sit upright and tell everyone you’re actually doing fine, you were just “practice-falling”.
You sit up and pull yourself together. You explain that you fell because you
had practiced falling so much that you forgot to stop yourself from doing it.
You thank everyone for helping you and ask them to stay away from you. They
laugh and assure you that they won’t
> Attempt, once again, to reassert some goddamned boundaries.
You sit down and begin to meditate. You close your eyes and concentrate hard
on calming your mind. You begin to think about nothing and everything at the
same time. You can’t help but notice that you’re getting hungry again. You decide
to go get some food
> Fight the urge to get some food. Do nothing, and focus very much on doing nothing for the next five minutes.
You quickly realize that you don’t want any food. You refuse to even touch anything.
You begin to panic and yell at everyone for not being able to give you what
you wanted. Eventually, you calm down and realize that you need to do something
else
> Do nothing. Focus on doing nothing.
You sit down and relax. You begin to think about nothing. You don’t know why, but you suddenly start to feel tired. You lie down and fall asleep.
When you wake up, you find yourself lying on the ground
> Wonder why I end up on the ground so often.
You open your eyes and find yourself lying on the ground. You immediately sit
up and realize that you’re naked. You’re surprised by this fact, but it doesn’t
seem to bother you anymore. You look around and find that you’re in a forest
> Find clothes.
You run to the nearest tree and begin to search for clothing. You find a shirt
and pants and put them on. You also notice that you have no shoes. You run to
the closest house and ask the owner for some shoes. He tells you that there
isn’t any such thing here
> Ask the man where I can find shoes in my size. I have big feet.
He tells you that you have big feet. He goes on to say that he used to wear shoes,
but after his wife died he couldn’t afford them anymore. He gave them to you
instead. He says that you should wear them and never take them off ever again
> Am I wearing shoes?
Yes, you are wearing shoes. You stand up and begin to walk towards the house. When you arrive, you see a man holding a sword. He asks you who you are and why you tell him. He tells you that you must be careful and runs off
