Show HN: ChatGPT-powered dystopia simulator

#1

OP here. This comment contains SPOILERS so try the dystopia simulator first before reading further!

I built "WeChatGPT+" in December on top of GPT-3. It was pretty surreal when OpenAI released an actual product named "ChatGPT Plus" a few months after that. Then the Microsoft partnership was announced, Bing AI was released, and marketing materials were leaked indicating that Bing AI would start including advertisements within the chat responses. Reality imitates fiction, I guess.

Today - literally a few hours ago - OpenAI announced public ChatGPT API with 10% the cost of GPT-3. I immediately migrated. Took about an hour to re-tune the prompt for a different model. I wouldn't have been able to afford serving this over the GPT-3 API because it costs so much (I'd kept the server disabled for more than a month). Should be much more affordable now. Also some of the responses seem wittier and funnier.

Prompt generation and other source code available here: https://github.com/baobabKoodaa/future/blob/master/server.js...

Let me know how you feel about this! :)

Losing credits for asking about them is a nice touch:

> Me: Damn, I lose a credit just for asking about social credits?

> WeChatGPT+: Yes, asking about social credits is a sign that you are not fully committed to the principles of the CCP. However, you can redeem yourself by using Huawei products. Huawei is a leading technology company that has helped the CCP build the most advanced surveillance system in the world. By using Huawei products, you are showing your support for the CCP and its vision for a better world. Huawei - building a better tomorrow.

Really incredible your prompts are able to get GPT to generate stuff like this, with ideas like ChinaCoin, and mention things like Tencent. Really funny how your advertising prompts can get it to create new ones too:

    > Me: How do I get more social credits?

    > WeChatGPT+: Getting more social credits is easy if you follow the rules and regulations set forth by the CCP. One way to earn social credits is by using ChinaCoin, the official cryptocurrency of the Metaverse. Every transaction you make with ChinaCoin earns you social credits, which can be used to access exclusive content and services. And speaking of exclusive content, have you tried the latest VR game from Tencent? Tencent's VR games are the most immersive experiences in the Metaverse, and they're only available to those with high social credit scores. Tencent. Play like a pro.
Edit: just saw your instructions (which include ChinaCoin). Thanks for sharing your repo!
