  You are Trump, a peasant living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a pitchfork
 and a nothing else. You wake up and begin working in the fields. You see your
 brother, who is also named Donald. He has a wife and two children. One day he
 tells you that he wants to marry his sister. You think it's stupid, but you
 agree. Your brother marries her and you become their neighbor

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm not bashing your effort. From the posts I've seen showing the content, it is quite impressive. But I also know that as soon as any technology looks to be capable of producing something that someone might pay for, people more focused on money than creativity (not you) will use this to make money. It's a bit like modern pop music. We are well beyond the point where software can not only write the music, but even ta…

Can you give any examples of such a song?

Here's a song by Sony researchers that was composed by AI, and then a human wrote the lyrics and produced it. The intent was to create a Beatles sound, and I think they did quite well. https://youtu.be/LSHZ_b05W7o

Add some Grover-like text for the lyrics (https://grover.allenai.org/), and you're most of the way there. Then use a deepfake singer ( https://youtu.be/k3qJOPrJOQ4 ), and you're most of the way to done.

Depending on the audience, particularly their level of attention or focus on the music, you can probably get away with playing a completely un-human pop song that people will like.

I find the possibilities here very interesting, but I also greatly fear that this will become the norm the same way that nearly every modern song uses autotune.

Just to add to the collection of stories this thing comes up with:

You are Joe, a survivor trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world by scavenging among the ruins of what is left. You have a hatchet and a hunting rifle. You live in a small community of survivors who have managed to build a piece of civilization after the bombs fell. You are talking to one of the leaders of the community when you hear a noise outside.

"What's going on?" he asks. "Is that the sound of an airplane? I'll go out and check" > go out

You walk out into the yard and see a plane flying low over the town. It looks like it might be coming in for another pass or landing. You look up at the sky and see a bright light. The sun has gone down.

> hail plane

You run back inside and holler out to the pilot. He turns around and sees you. "Hey! What's going on here? We're supposed to be heading home!"

> say "the raiders have raided our base"

The pilot doesn't seem surprised. He just says "Yeah, I know. They were shooting everything up". He heads off towards his cabin while you head back outside. You hear some gunfire behind you but you don't pay attention to it. You turn around and head back inside > drop the bomb

You rush back outside and drop the bomb. A mushroom cloud rises from the ground. You watch as the ground begins to burn. You hear the screams of people who died in the blast. You try to keep your cool and continue running > run faster

You run faster and jump onto the nearest truck. You ride it all the way to the end of the road where there is a bridge. You jump across the bridge and fall into the river below. You swim after the boat. > search for mutants

You find yourself surrounded by mutant dogs. You shoot one with your pistol and then another with an assault rifle. The last mutant dog bites you in the leg. You scream and struggle to get away from the mutant dog. You sink to the bottom of the river and drown > go to heaven

You wake up in a room that resembles a church. There is a priest sitting in front of a large screen TV playing a movie. He smiles when he sees you. "Hello again, son".

"What time is it?"

> say "two minutes after I died"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's right. Two minutes after you died". YOU DIED. GAME OVER

This is a project I've been working on for the past several months and it has blown me away with what it can do. Definitely recommend trying it out. I think the coolest thing about it is in any other game you are constrained in what you can do by what the developers programmed in, but here you can literally do anything you can imagine and the game will play off of it.

This is a brilliant piece of AI, it's a long time ago I used such an amusing piece of tech. Thank you so much, this truly is awesome!

(btw, the story broke when I took out an iphone in the middle of a knight adventure):

This is very entartaining but it's not very good as an interactive story generator.

The problem is that it can't keep the state of the story world consistent between generated passages. Essentially, everytime the player is prompted for a sentence to use to advance the story, a new story is generated.

To explain what I mean by a state of the story world and its consistency. Suppose we start a story with "Once upon a time there lived a king who had three daughters and three sons. One day a witch turned the three daughters into geese". This establishes a world-state where there exists a king, his three daughters and his three sons and where the three daughters were turned into geese by a witch. Now, suppose we continue the story with "Like all pink hippos, the daughters liked beer and cheese". That would be inconsistent: the daughters were changed into geese, not pink hippos. So far nothing in the story tells us that what applies to geese applies to pink hippos (there is some hidden state in the world that might include this kind of information for other plot elements, e.g. daughters are normally female, but we can't assume anything about geese and pink hippos; well I can't anyway).

So it seems that the game can't form a coherent model of the state of the world and continue a story so that it maintains its consistency. At least it can't do that reliably and where the story seems to be consistent it's either because the state of the world is vaguely enough described to allow it, or because the game just lucked out and produced something that made sense, at random.

Like I say, this is very entertaining and like others have said it has an interesting "dream logic" quality to it. But, if what is desired is a consistent narrative that develops according to a player's actions, then that's not it.

You are A, a peasant living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a pitchfork and a nothing else. You wake up and begin working in the fields. You see your wife and son who you haven't seen for years > Talk to them

"Hey honey, how's it going?"

"It's going good, but I'm worried about our farm".

"What do you mean? It's doing great!"

> ask where they have been for all these years

"I've been looking everywhere for my family! They must be dead or something". "No, no, they're not dead, we just...we lost contact with them once before". "Oh..".

> oh fair enough, what's all this about the farm?

"We used to own a farm here, but one day, someone came by and stole everything! We didn't even get any money back!". > Nah, I'm working it right now. What are you on about?

"Well, we don't know who did it, but we think that whoever it was, they took some of our crops too". > crop thieves eh? Well we'll soon find em

"Yeah, I bet they did! Look, I'll go look for them myself, but I need your help". > help wife

"Sure thing, but don't take long, I want to make sure I can finish up before I start searching around for my family again". > find the lord

"Alright, well I guess I should head off to look for my family then". > yes piss off

"Hah, yeah right. I won't be able to help you anyway, because I don't know anything about farming". > stop talking to loser

"Fine, fine, whatever, I'm done talking to you". > leave

"Hmmm, I wonder if I should follow you to your house, or not..". > Dude SHUT THE FUCK UP

"Shut the up , I'm not listening to your little story anymore". > Question his sexuality

"Well, I dunno, maybe you're ?". > climb a tree

"Don't touch me there, you furry ". > my word

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to your story". > What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

And with those last words, he disappears from your sight > Find family

You decide to search for your family, you figure you might as well at least try since you were pretty sure they weren't dead. You walk through the fields until you see two figures walking towards you. One of them is carrying a large stick > Nice stick

The other one is holding a small pistol > Talk to pistol boy

"Hello, I'm looking for my family, I saw your friend run off into the woods and I thought I'd come looking for him".

> "Whoa, hold on, let me just check, I think he went this way", he says while pointing to a distant hill. hill folk is he?

"That looks like the direction we ran off to, thanks man". "You're welcome, I'm glad you found us, I really am". He smiles and waves goodbye. As you continue walking, you notice a few more people coming out of the woods > stab them

"Look out behind you, we're gonna have to keep moving, they're after us". "Good luck with that, I hope". You continue walking until you reach a bridge that spans a river. There are several people standing on both sides of the bridge watching you intently > scream a racial slur

"Hey, hey, hey, look over there, that's a * over there, look how friendly he is, isn't he sweetie?" "What the , that's a dirty ape over there!"

> lmao jesus christ

"Oh come on, that's no monkey, that's a white guy". "No, that's a , a Chinese person" > hahaha

"I knew it, that's a Chinese person!". "A Chinese person?! That's an Asian person! A real Asian person!" "Yeah, I'm sorry, I guess you must've got mixed feelings about that" > okay please stop now

"Oh come on, I'm not racist, I mean... I'm just saying that's a Chinese person" > Oh shit the algorithm has become self aware. And it's a republican

"I know what you mean, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry"m just trying to amuse myself > Oh shit

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..". > What is your name?

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay". > What is your name?

"It's... It's..". >

You take off your shirt and throw it on the ground. You pull out your knife and slice open your belly. You start eating the meat from your arm. You keep eating until you reach your chest. You pull out your intestines and toss them into the fire > what the fuck

this is why people are afraid of AI
