I’ve been playing around with using ChatGPT to basically be the main character in Star Trek episodes. Similar to how I’d build and play a D&D game. I give it situations and see the responses.
It’s not mirroring. It comes up with what seems like original ideas. You can make it tell you what you want to, but it’ll also do things you didn’t expect.
I’m basically doing what all these other people are doing and it’s behaving exactly as they say it does. It’ll easily drop you into a feedback loop down a path you didn’t give it.
Personally, I find this a dangerously addictive game but what I’m doing is entirely fictional inside a very well defined setting. I know immediately when it’s generating incorrect output. You do what I’m doing with anything real, and it’s gonna be dangerous as hell.
