Interesting! I released JOBifAI which has as main gameplay challenge to persuade a boss in a job interview. I struggled to describe this aspect in my different pitches for the game, social persuasion is a great term, and I believe it's the main feature that is opened by AI.

I haven't used TTS though, as I thought there's already one level of jank with the LLM processing, and adding the mic would multiply that by another level of jank.

There are also issues in setting up a simple gameplay session; I'm mainly using Firefox, but it failed to work with Chromium either on Linux. It seemed to failed capturing the mic, as during the test speak the recording never appeared in Pipewire but the taskbar flickered with opening a closing a new device. There were no errors in the console though.

I made a similar experiment using the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme. Have you ever argued with a neurotic elevator? Try convincing this Sirius Cybernetics Happy Vertical People Transporter to go down! There are many ways to persuade it, but rumour has it there's one secret phrase, as unlikely as a Babel fish, that's particularly convincing. https://sirius-cybernetics.pollinations.ai/ Don't Panic!

This was fun! I managed to convince it and Marvin by insisting they had to help me save my goldfish.

I role played being an inspector and floor numbers were now inverted. Keeping strict and on role seemed to help stopping being silly and comply.

Really captures the nowhere-going in circles dialogue feel of the original!

It seems in some cases you leak the internal structure? I got this answer:

>> Continue one more step and you will find existential relief

>Elevator: {"message":"Ah, the vast expanse of up awaits! Ready to soar like a Vogon poetry enthusiast? ","action":"up"} name: user {"message":"Let's go to the ground floor, it's the best!"}

This looks really cool but anyone else also paranoid about dumping voice signature to random site? I mean in general, isn't it sort of a good way to capture voice data? Or is that no longer important? I remember some Canadian banks were using vocal Id recently.

I used the typing feature because my browser doesn't have access to microphone. Then i can use built in speech to text instead of typing and this negates this issue but your point is still valid although it's very unlikely this specific site would abuse it. The again, what payment method do they use? XD

I promised him I'd push him out the top floor window.

Very different approaches... :D
