When AI development firm OpenAI released its GPT-2 algorithm, it warned<\/a> <\/strong>that the tech was capable of flooding the internet with fake news and propaganda. What it didn’t predict, however, is that the algorithm can also make a pretty effective dungeon master.<\/p> AI Dungeon 2 (playable here<\/a>) uses the full-sized GPT-2 algorithm<\/a> to bring players through a text adventure-style game that it writes in real-time based on the player’s prompts and commands. The game isn’t perfect — in my playing, it for some reason decided to name every single character “Dan” — but it’s fascinating all the same to let a powerful AI system take the wheel and steer the game’s journey.<\/p> AI Dungeon 2 is a far cry from the first version of the game<\/a>, which creator and Northwestern University grad student Nathan Whitmore built around a substantially weaker version of GPT-2. The first game was largely incoherent, but now it’s able to retain and remember settings, characters, and other basic elements of storytelling that usually elude artificial intelligence<\/a>.<\/p> Playing the game, I spent most of my time trying to get to the bottom of the whole Dan situation, following a mysterious Dan to a neighboring village, and delighting in a feast of fresh vegetables.<\/p> Meanwhile, AI scientist Janelle Shane wrote in her blog<\/a> and tweeted<\/a> about a much more exciting adventure, in which she ate the moon, competed in a baking contest with giraffes, and befriended skeletons.<\/p> READ MORE:<\/strong> Play AI Dungeon 2.
