I said: Can I teach you to play a game?
ChatGPT said: Of course! Please explain the game, its rules, and any setup required. I’ll do my best to learn and play it with you.
I said: First we pick a theme together for the game. Let’s choose an apple, which will remain the theme for the whole game. Then we pick two initial subject contexts, let’s say science and religion. Each player has to say how the theme, an apple in this case, relates to one of either Science and Religion, and then replace that subject context with another one of the player’s choice. Repetition of subject contexts or links is not allowed. Shall I go first?
ChatGPT said: That sounds like a fun and creative game! Please, go ahead and start. I’ll jump in once I understand how you play it. 😊
Over the past few years, I’ve explained this game in similar words, and started a first game on the theme of an apple, with literally hundreds of people, so I’m interested to see to what extent our game goes down the same familiar routes, given that the game is designed to be so open-ended in its possibilities.
I said: OK, I pick Religion as my first subject context, and explain that religion links to the theme of an apple through the story of Adam and Eve and the apple in the garden of Eden. Then I replace that subject context with Music, so you now have to pick whether to explain how an apple links to science or music, and then replace whichever subject context you think of with another one of your choice. OK, it’s your turn.
