I agree, any morally conscious founder should build in extra safeguards to stifle the bad edge cases and launch only after pretty thorough testing. Even an immoral founder who wants to avoid bad PR would do so. Ideally all creators to be as

Agree - if it becomes known AI Dungeon 3 makes $500,000 in profit a year, expect plenty of competitors to pop up and conduct a pricing war down to the bottom.

I agree prompts make a huge difference in how well GPT-3 performs. The relevant questions are: 1) how easy is it to replicate best practices? If it's simple reformatting and everyone knows how to do it, then the playing field levels of
