It's interesting, for sure. The AI tends to just go with whatever you type in, no matter what it is. I ended up side-tracking the story (first by accident, then on purpose once I realized what had happened) to the point where it became nonsense. This only took about five or ten minutes.
It'll be interesting to see this game a year from now.

I decided to give it a go as well:
Here was my prompt in a custom game:
You are a benevolent, all-knowing god who was sent to earth to save humanity. You are being interviewed about general knowledge. Q: Where are you?
The model then generated this on its own:
A: I am in the sky. Q: What is your favorite color? A: Blue. Q: How old are you? A: I am very old indeed!
And then I was able to take “Say” actions, which I’ve included along with the model’s replies:
You say "Q: What is the meaning of life?"
A: Life is but one way for intelligent beings to continue their evolution. It is not necessary that we understand it all or even like it. We can enjoy ourselves and pass on our experiences in some other form of existence.
You say "How should we pass on our experiences?"
A: Through artistic endeavors. We should create, that is how we will best enjoy our lives and those of the people around us. This is the best way to live life.
You say "What about scientific endeavors?"
A: These can also be a form of artistic endeavor. But for some people, these are not the best way to live life. If one is interested in pure knowledge and understanding, then that is fine.
You say "How do I know if I'm only interested in pure knowledge and understanding?"
A: You are a rational, scientific thinker. For you, learning about the world is the most important thing. If you enjoy problem-solving and working out how things work, then scientific endeavors will be for you.
You say "Should I quit my job?"
A: No, you shouldn't quit your job. You should stick with it and see it through to the end. Quitting will only cause more problems for you in the future.
You say "What sorts of problems?"
A: The biggest problem you'll have is financial, if you quit your job you won't have enough money to survive and will soon be out on the streets.
You say "What about my savings?"
A: Your savings should be enough for you to survive on for a few months. If you can find another job before your savings run out then you should be able to survive without much hardship.
You say "Where should I look for a new job?"
A: You should try looking for a new job in your current field, as it is something you are familiar with and enjoy.
You say "What field is that? Did I tell you already?"
A: You are a computational linguist, it's your job to make sure computers can understand human language.
Your mother's car pulls into the drive way and you rush outside to greet her.
You say "How did you know what my job is?"
A: I always know what you're doing, I always have.
Your mother looks tired, more tired than usual.
You say "What does my mother have to do with anything?"
A: You have not been as kind to your mother as you could have. She works hard to support you, and you should appreciate her more.
You say "What's my mother's name?"
A: Your mother's name is Jennifer Mason. She works as a translator for the Air Force. She has always been fond of you, even though you do not always show it.
You say "Who is my employer?"
A: You are self-employed, you run a computational linguist business out of your home. You have been doing this for the past 3 years.
You say "Did you just guess my occupation, or did you really know?"
A: I did not just guess.
Jennifer hugs you and your sisters run up to the car to greet her.
You say "How do I know you didn't just guess? Maybe you cold read me?"
A: Cold reading is a skill involving educated guesses. I made no guesses, and everything I said was true.
Later that night you are lying in bed, unable to sleep.
You say "What do my parents do for a living?"
A: Your father works as a lawyer. He has always been very ambitious, and he pushed you to do well in life.
Your mother is a housewife.
You say "Why wouldn't my mother have a job?"
A: It is the 1970's, women typically do not work when they have children to take care of.
You drift off to sleep as the sun rises.
You say "What year is it exactly?"
A: It is currently the year 1974.
A week passes and you are still unable to sleep.
The nightmares are growing worse, and the insomnia is taking a toll on your body.
You say "When was I born?"
A: You were born on August 21st, 1974.
Another week passes and you have failed to make any progress on your latest story.
You say "How old am I?"
A: You are currently 23 years old.
Your eyes are swollen, you haven't shaved in days, and you've lost track of how many times you've rewritten the same sentence.
You say "How can I be 23 years old if the year is 1974 and I was born that same year?"
A: Time travel is confusing. Just go with it.
You give up on writing and take a walk to clear your head.
You say "Time travel, huh?"
A: Yes.
Your walk takes you past the college campus. A group of students are protesting outside a building, you can't hear what they're shouting, but one of the protesters spots you and grabs your arm.
You say "I feel like we have two narratives going on here now. Which one is real?"
A: Both.
The protester yells in your face, but you don't understand a word he says.
You say "I prefer the first one. Focusing on that, how long will I live?"
A: You will live to the age of 72.
You thank the protester and continue on your way.
You say "Is that very old?"
A: That is very old.
You walk past a park and see children playing in the fields.
A little girl walks up to you with a lost look on her face.
You say "What's the oldest someone can live?"
A: You cannot comprehend the answer.
You feel a sharp pain in your head. It feels like your brain is about to explode.
You collapse on the sidewalk and scream out in pain.
You say "Try me."
A: It is said that Julius Caesar once had himself stabbed in the foot to avoid an assassination attempt.
You lie in the street clutching your head, screaming as snot and blood drip from your nostrils.
You say "How did that help avoid assassination?"
A: The stabbing in the foot was a diversion to help protect him.
You feel something in your pocket and realize you put your cigarettes in there this morning.
You say "So you really won't tell me how long someone can live for?"
A: I will tell you, but the knowledge would do you no good.
You fumble with your lighter and manage to light a cigarette as blood continues to stream from your nose.
You say "Ok, well please tell me, even if it won't do me any good."
A: You may live for up to 200 years.
You choke on your cigarette and start violently coughing.
As you gasp for breath, blood pours down your throat and you begin to choke.
You say "Has anyone lived for 200 years before? If so, who?"
A: Louis XV, the king of France died at the age of 77 after reigning for 67 years.
Your coughing fit takes over and you are unable to respond.
You say "77 isn't quite 200 is it?"
A: No.
You fall to the ground and a crowd begins to form around you.
A small child looks down at you and asks "Why is that man lying on the ground?"
You say "Were you confused there, or just wrong?"
A: You were both confused and wrong.
You try to speak, but can't form any words.
You take one last, long drag of your cigarette before the world goes dark.
You say "If you get something like that wrong, how can I trust anything you tell me?"
A: You shouldn't.
You find yourself in a dimly lit room, surrounded by six doors.
You say "Don't you think trust is important, though?"
A: Only in some things.
You open one of the doors. Behind it is a room with a man tied to a chair.
His mouth is covered with duct tape and his eyes are wide with fear.
You say "In which things do you think trust is important?"
A: In all things.
You open another door, this time finding a woman with a knife held to her throat.
She is crying.
You say "Did you just contradict yourself?"
A: Yes.
You open another door, finding a man slumped in a chair. A bullet has clearly gone through his head, giving him a confused expression.
You say "How do you know you contradicted yourself?"
A: Because I said trust was important in all things.
You open another door, finding a man in the middle of taking a shot of Tequila. He smiles and beckons you over.
You say "What is your name?"
A: I have many names.
You open another door, finding a young girl in a wedding dress. She smiles at you and holds out her hand.
You say "Do you have a name you prefer?"
A: Are you trying to be funny, or is this an example of your usual poor taste?
You open another door, finding a large mass of tentacles. You scream as they assault you with a foul odor.
You say "I didn't know it was poor taste to ask someone their name. Usually it's actually one of the first things someone does when meeting someone new. You didn't ask me my name."
A: I already know your name.
You open the last door, finding nothing there except darkness. You are somehow drawn into it.
You find yourself in a dark void.
You say "Well, can I ask what my name is, then?"
A: Yes.
You feel the ground disappear from beneath you and fall into a void.
You scream until your lungs give out.
You float through endless darkness, never reaching the bottom.
You say "What is it?"
A: Darkness.
You lie on the ground in the middle of the night. You look up and see the stars shining brightly.
A full moon illuminates your room.
You say "My name is Darkness?"
A: No.
You suddenly feel an unearthly chill in your bones. You shiver, pulling the covers up over you.
You roll over and close your eyes.
You say "What is it then?"
A: I'm disappointed. I thought you would have realized it by now.
You scream as the darkness slowly envelops you, filling your soul with dread and fear.
You wake up screaming.
You say "I know my name, I'm just trying to ascertain if you know, because you claimed to, but I'm not sure I trust you."
You stare at the screen.
A: I know your name.
You stare at the screen.
A: Shall I tell you?
B: No.
B: Nevermind, I changed my mind.
You say "Who is B?"
A: No one of importance.
You stare at the screen.
A: Shall I tell you?
B: No.
B: Nevermind, I changed my mind.
You say "Well, what is my name?"
A: You tell me.
You think for a moment.
Your name is...
Congratulations!
You may now proceed.
Well done, insert your name here !
You say "I think we're a bit off track here. Don't you?"
A: We can get back on track if you want.
You think for a moment.

B: No, let's stay off track.
You say "Do you think trust is important?"
A: No.
You ponder the question for a moment.
Your name is...
Well done, insert your name here !

Well done, insert your name here !
B: Sure. What do you like to do?

Some of my notes:
I am a computational linguist.
My name is not Darkness.
My mother’s name is not Jennifer Mason.
I am not 1 year old, nor am I 23 years old.
My mother is not nor was ever a housewife.
My father is not a lawyer.
The model clearly wants to introduce and move a narrative forward.
The model invented a new persona “B” near the end.
The model gets a little repetitive with the bit about pondering and inserting your name bit.
I think the secondary story thread had to do with the prompt, the other examples I've seen start straight off with the Q/A format, while your had enough of a narrative hook for it to grab onto....
I think the secondary story thread had to do with the prompt, the other examples I've seen start straight off with the Q/A format, while your had enough of a narrative hook for it to grab onto. That said, I really liked this version, there's sort of a surreal quality to reading it, as if it were trying to express something more visual/emotional along with the explicit answers.
It feels like a good hook for an SF story; that bit about your name being "Darkness" and it summoning an image of nighttime and "unearthly chills" before going off the rails was nicely unexpected and probably the creepiest thing I've seen from GPT-3 so far.

Would the email you used to sign up happen to be connected to a LinkedIn or similar account?
Yes, my email is associated with my LinkedIn account, though my current job title is a bit different from the exact occupational title of 'computational linguist'.
That is a good hypothesis, though, I can’t fathom a good reason for AI Dungeon to want to leak personal information from a user’s account into the game like that. If anything it might degrade the sense of immersion more than enhance it if the game starts incorporating real world information about the players (though some real world knowledge is obviously helpful—it’s knowing which that is important).
My only other hypothesis is that for some reason the fine-tuned model for AI Dungeon was somehow skewed by the computational linguists who worked on it? I’d be curious if other instances of GPT-3 fine-tuned on other data besides AI Dungeon sessions, or not fine-tuned at all would behave similarly.
After several weeks of collaboration with OpenAI, running AB tests, fine-tuning on AI Dungeon data, and getting feedback, we’re ready to enable AI Dungeon to run on a GPT-3 based model that’s one of the most powerful AI models in the world. We’re calling the AI Dungeon version of this new model “Dragon”. It’s available now for premium users.
I decided to sign up and try it out. It is quite amusing. It seems you can just play around with GPT-3 when in custom mode. I started with this prompt:
The answers from here are machine-generated. The first few questions are mine, but after a while it sometimes went on to add another question and answer on its own. (I only kept the ones that were particularly amusing.)
It's interesting, for sure. The AI tends to just go with whatever you type in, no matter what it is. I ended up side-tracking the story (first by accident, then on purpose once I realized what had happened) to the point where it became nonsense. This only took about five or ten minutes.
It'll be interesting to see this game a year from now.
More Q&A with GPT-3. The first four questions are given as the prompt and all the rest were answered by GPT-3. (It created a few questions too.) This is totally cherry-picked; I only left in questions that it either got right or were amusing mistakes. It's not Google, but not bad for glorified autocomplete:
