Agreed, but I think we'll soon start to discover that interacting with systems as if they were text adventure games of the 80's is also going to get pretty weird and frustrating, not to mention probably inefficient.
- danaris 2y agoEven worse, because the text adventure games of the '70s and '80s (at least, the ones that were reasonably successful) had consistent internal state. If you told it to move to the Back of Fountain, you were in the Back of Fountain and would stay there until you told it to move somewhere else. If you told it to wave the black rod with the star at the chasm, a bridge appeared and would stay there. If you tell ChatGPT that your name is Dan, and give it some rules to follow, after enough exchanges, it will simply forget these things. And sometimes it won't accurately follow the rules, even when they're clearly and simply specified, even the first prompt after you give them. (At least, this has been my experience.) I don't think anyone really wants to play "text adventure game with advanced Alzheimer's".
