The LLM that powers this is surprisingly well trained (for what it is doing). I don't know if it's using a pre-existing one, but if you open dev tools and find the api you can play around with any combination of things.

Just as an example, I put in "Protestant" and "Spiritual Experiences" and it gave "Pentecostal" which is exactly right, and I didn't expect it to know that. Now I have to find how to get that in the game.

I couldn't find any information but does this use some kind of LLM to derive the combinations from? It makes a request to the backend every time you combine items which sometimes takes >500ms, and also supports some really wild combinations that I highly doubt someone has taken the time to come up with. It would also explain why the icons are emoji's, it would be fairly trivial to ask ChatGPT to give you the result o…

Ahh, neat application of it. Explains the somewhat dubious combinations I was seeing.

Forest + fire = smoke Mud + water = swamp Swamp + plant = Venus Flytrap Okay, okay. Venus Flytrap + Smoke = smoke detector

North America + Fire = Canada. Naturally.

I found fish + fire = sushi amusing - it isn't necessarily wrong, but it also doesn't feel right either...

How did you get to fish? Because boy do I have a story for you.

Mine starts in Atlantis, then Poseidon gives me a fish. Then two fish turned into a shark and I ended up with a sharknado.

Then I found the titanic, we hit an iceberg, I found a treasure and then pirates chased me, but I got away, sold the treasure for money and became the richest man, then climbed Mt Everest, and later had a tea party.

Anyway, there has to be a better way to get fish than Unda da Sea.

As is usual for all things on the internet, fiddle around and you will find Star Wars.

I just got a "first discovery": Garlic + Vampire = Dinner | Darth Vader + Dinner = Dark Dinner (whatever that means)

And I don't know how, but how did I get from fire/earth/water to "racist"? How is that even a thing?

I got some funny ones, like:

- Bread + Bread = Toast, + Fire = Burnt Toast, + Fire = Ash

- Toast + Disaster = Pop Tart, + Fire = Hot Pocket, + Coffee = Coffee Pocket (First Discovery)

- Hot Pocket + Cappuccino = Cappuccino Pocket (First Discovery), + Pop Tart = Cappuccino Pop Tart (First Discovery)

- Coffee Pocket + Disaster = Coffee Spill (First Discovery), + Pop Art (sic) = Jackson Pollock

- Jackson Pollock + Megadisaster = Jackson Pollock

- Artist + Disaster = Picasso

Apparently nobody else was insane enough to combine Coffee, Hot Pockets, and Pop Tarts. The AI is just confusing sometimes, though:

- Pompeii + Kaleidoscope = Mosaic?

- Burnt Toast + Water = Coffee, + Cake = Breakfast, + Mosaic = Cereal?

- Coffee Pocket + Broken Window = Coffee? (though idk what I expected)

One person's specific usage of AI, in a specific game, where the AI was constrained to only coming up with words that have an associated emoji, is not a referendum on whether or not AI itself has common sense. That's like saying paint is boring because someone made a crappy painting, or code is limited because someone made an app you don't like.

Sure, its not a referendum, but its a prominent sign that even with this task AI can fail spectacularly. P.S. Today I learned from AI that Sphinx + Drunk = Sphinxter.

That's a sick pun though - I'd definitely consider that a success
