From video games, to text based adventures, to porn - I'd be surprised if humans are going to be competitive with generative AI for much longer.

Personally, I enjoyed going back and playing the old Pokemon games for nostalgia. Generative AI has completely displaced that genre for me. I can go on text-based adventures set in the world of Pokemon that have higher fidelity and degrees of freedom than any video game experience can provide.

The prompt:

> You are going to assume the role of a text based adventure game. The game is pokemon yellow. You will narrate the game and events and ask me for input to control the game. The gameboy was just turned on, go.

A snippet from the adventure:

(full adventure here: https://chat.openai.com/share/df0a1bef-229d-4f88-b25b-6e6af8...)

> Although Professor Oak advised you to stay away from Mewtwo, you can't help but feel a sense of responsibility and curiosity about the enigmatic Pokémon. You decide to return to the cave and try to communicate with Mewtwo to understand its intentions.

> Carefully making your way back to the chamber where you previously observed Mewtwo, you approach it with caution. As you get closer, Mewtwo seems to sense your presence and turns to face you. Its piercing eyes seem to stare straight into your soul.

> You gather your courage and attempt to communicate with Mewtwo, hoping to understand why it's agitated and if there's any way to help. To your surprise, Mewtwo appears to be receptive to your efforts. Through a combination of gestures, body language, and psychic communication, you begin to establish a connection.

> You learn that Mewtwo is indeed searching for something – a purpose and a place to belong. It feels isolated and misunderstood, and its immense power has brought it nothing but fear and mistrust from humans and Pokémon alike.

> As you converse, it becomes clear that Mewtwo is not inherently malicious; it simply wants to find its place in the world. You offer your support and friendship, hoping that this connection will help Mewtwo find the understanding and peace it seeks.

...

> You decide to invite Mewtwo to join your team and travel with you, hoping that together, you can help it find its purpose and place in the world. You extend the invitation, unsure of how Mewtwo will react.

> To your surprise and relief, Mewtwo seems to consider your offer seriously. It studies you intently, as if trying to gauge your sincerity and trustworthiness. After a moment of tense silence, Mewtwo nods in agreement, accepting your offer to join your team.

> With Mewtwo as a new member of your Pokémon team, you feel a mixture of excitement and responsibility. You know that having such a powerful Pokémon by your side could be both a blessing and a challenge, but you're determined to help Mewtwo find the understanding and acceptance it seeks.

This is right after battling Misty, I go straight to Mewtwo, team up, and then steam roll the rest of the game and go on an epic quest of self discovery with Mewtwo.

We find a bunch of ancient temples that are filled with manuscripts that talk about an ancient lost region. We go there and find it's the origin of all Pokemon, cut off from the world of humans and guarded by an ancient and mythical Pokemon Oriora.

The game was an incredible experience - far better than playing the original cartridges for me.
