what game has she made

What games have people made with ChatGPT? Do you have an example of a live, deployed game?

  Yes, a gazillion of them. Someone in a scrabble Facebook group made this entirely with ChatGPT: https://aboocher.github.io/scrabble/ingpractice.html https://aboocher.github.io/scrabble/ingpractice.html

    1 < a gazillion I think the problem here is different expectations for what a “game” is. If you tell a room full of programmers that something can make a game they’re going to expect more than that. I look at that and I don’t really see a game, I see flashcards. Still pretty cool chatgpt can put that together. Also the “try again” button doesn’t work.

    Its actually kind of wild how obvious it is that this was not made by a human.

    Look, I get the societal development that you can input narrative text and the code for this pops out is super neat. But trying to be fair here, anyone would call this incomplete, right? There are several obvious bugs in styling and interaction. This example is exactly what I was expecting. An ephemeral, simple-yet-buggy single page that’s barely a game in common understanding. That person, while maybe not actively programming things, does appear to have forked several repos on GitHub a decade ago. I would say that’s above the level of technical competence implied by the “my grandma” phrasing of the OP.

No she can't, comments likes yours are just made up nonsense that AI hype-mans and investors somehow convinced us are a fair opinions to have.

  While AI is overhyped by some people, the parent's statement is not only true but was true long before o1 was released.

    Do you know of an example game by someone with no coding experience using an LLM?

  Check out replit agents, they can make games and apps autonomously now

    Practical challenge with a $250 prize: Make a 2D isometric HTML+JS game (dealer's choice on library) in the next 48 hours that satisfies these modest random requirements: A character walks around a big ornate classic library, pulling books from bookshelves looking for a special book that causes a shelf to rotate around and reveal a hidden room and treasure chest. The player can read the books and some are just filler but some have clues about the special book. If this can be done with art, animations, sound, UI, the usual stuff, I'll believe the parent poster's claim to be true. As someone using LLM-based workflows daily to assist with personal and professional projects, I'll wager $250 that this is not possible.

My great aunt literally asked o1 for fantasy football bets and won $1000 on draftkings. This is a gamechanger
