Reminiscent of the Twilight Zone episode where a criminal ends up in the afterlife. Spoilers in link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Nice_Place_to_Visit

The old gpt2 engine that used to drive AI Dungeon had the opposite problem, it was obviously trained on a ton of really bad fan fiction and would frequently either shift into filthy erotica or some kind of hyper violent serial killer story, no matter how innocently the story started.

  • I loved AI Dungeon for generating funny/stupid fanfiction style adventure/action/fantasy/scifi stories. It could keep track of characters and settings, have them return with motivations. And then something unexpected would happen. Provided me with a lot of entertainment.

    But my problem with using it as a DM is that you have to police yourself. I could just declare that I did something and it would automatically succeed. There were no rules or antagonism in the system. It was more of a collaborative storytelling tool than a game.

    To be fair I haven't used it in years so I dunno how it works nowadays.
