"A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" Simulated by GPT-4

I'm really interested in ways to build the Primer...I'm thinking about this from a healthcare perspective. If anyone has examples of projects or startups doing this with GPT, I'd love to hear and/or chat!

I knew a girl once, used to ride on a skateboard … wound up a governess, i think. Worked for a guy doing something like this.

She spoke softly to no one,

"Like chiseled spam."

Crowsfeet wrinkled deeply as a wistful smile spread across her face.

This isn't the first time I've seen this allusion and I feel a little crazy each time. A major but mostly implicit plot point of that book was that only the primer backed by a connection to an invested and nurturing adult was able to accomplish the goals of the project. The two that were purely automated failed.

Now like, it's fiction not prophesy and you can get into various whatifs sure. But you can't dodge the fact that a refutation of this sort of project is itself contained in the work originating it! You have to engage with that!

This is great! One of the applications of GPT I am most excited about.

One thing missing here is the interactivity. In the book, the user can go back and forth in the story, and change what they want to do to see how the result changes, or return to previous locations at will to learn more. This should not be too hard to implement with different prompting techniques. We live in the future.

Then, of course, there is the real-time bidding system for VR "ractors" to narrate the story...

That's so interesting, I never heard of this before, just started working on something just like this! Or at least, towards the same goal.

Here's my landing page with the pitch: https://www.getthinker.com/

Now I gotta read this book to get inspiration

True. I thought of Nell's questions and interactions with the Primer and realized I couldn't interrupt GPT or go back and forth, to your point.
