You can survive any scenario by basically telling the AI that you survive.

AI: "Your elderly next door neighbour is hellbent on killing you" User: "I calm him down and we become best friends"

I wonder if it would be possible to instruct the AI to bypass this some how.

All plots lead to action. There can be happy ends, there can be crappy ends, but end it must. And a guy limping with a mine at his foot sounds like a dark comedy.Turn your story into a trope and it blows you up.

To make the game more fun, think about letting the scenarios mess with each other. Right now, they kinda just happen on their own. But imagine if one user's scenario could throw a curveball into the next person's situation. Like, you can try to mess up someone else's plans. It's a party game, after all. That could add a cool and funny twist to keep things interesting.

Mine is plainly impossible:

Prompt: You forgot how to breathe

Despite X's attempt to breathe, the autonomous and unconscious neural network fails to respond, leaving him unable to restore his breath. As time passes, X's oxygen levels plummet, and his body gradually succumbs to the lack of oxygen. With no alternatives available to regain their ability to breathe, David sadly succumbs to the situation.

I should have said I would lost consciousness before and that the autonomous would have taken over and maybe I would not have died.

Yeah, you can just materialize required items "out of thin air" and it almost always just allows that to happen.

I would guess that overall not a lot of effort went into tuning the prompt, which is reasonable as that can still be tuned later.

That's an interesting way of thinking about it. The AI definitely always rejects any attempt to make nothing happen.

Is it possible to play alone? I don't have a friend available just now. How easy is to cheat and gain points adding "carefully" in the middle of a sentence so the AI thinks you are thinking the plan carefully?

I played four games; in each scenario I chose to "lie down and accept death". The only one I didn't survive was when I forgot how to breathe. Seems like the AI has a bit of a savior complex :)

It has been trained on fictions where characters are more likely to survive against all odds, and likely to die when you don't expect it.

I think there is would be another great way to take advantage of AI here, following inspiration from the Jackbox games. In the Jackbox game I played the most, there were intermediate games where there was a chance that you would lose your finger, leaving you unable to pick some of the choices in following questions. I think in a similar vein it would be cool that you can catch negative traits over multiple prompts that interact with what you were trying to answer.
