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.

this is happening all the time to me now. people sending me messages or emails or even whole documents under the pretense that it's their own thoughts and words, but it's actually text generated by AI.

but then why would you bother with these people? isn't that a mad insult they can't even take the effort to write up their own words?

I'm using it for work as inventory clerk. All I have to do now is take photos of a house, and it analyses the pictures for me, saying stuff like "White UPVC Front Door - Good condition however minor scuff marks to lower areas and a chip on the handle". It does it quicker and better than I can do it manually, and comes up with quirky descriptions too. Not many people use it in the inventory trade yet, but as soon as someone develops a more cost effective app, they're onto a winner and could put me out of work, especially if drones could take the photos. They'd just have to be able to open doors. It's amazing how detailed and accurate it is.
