I still don’t get it.

There’s only one way to find out for real. Get him drunk, David. Find out where he’s keeping the sketches of duck whispers.

How nice to receive a considered response to your reasonable questions rather than a legal threat. Must make a nice change.

David, you’ve just gone and made me love you both even more. He couldn’t have answered those questions more perfectly. It all makes sense mixed with a healthy dose of self deprecation.

Could this have all been one giant have? You’re promoting HitRecord? :P

I think that you should join HITRECORD (why does the name have to be shouting in all caps? Makes me want to hiteject) and have the prompt “Tell a story in 10 words or less of getting your date cancelled by a famous Hollywood actor. Example : Wednesday night’s ire soothed by bath bomb, hot fizzy water.”

The GPT-3 AI can already easily pass an email-based Turing test.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPT-3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test

It has even been used to generate interactive games via AI Dungeon.

--

You are Da5id, a journalist living in the the futuristic city of HitEjectia. You have a laser-assisted parabolic microphone and a dream recorder. You are part of an investigative unit tasked with finding missing content creators. As always, should you or any of your team be caught or killed, the Secretary and Overlord, the Juggler (all praise him) will disavow any knowledge of your actions. You wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that a top publisher in the city has gone missing. You must find out what happened!

As you enter the crime scene, you notice a new model of hover car parked on the road.

The AI wrote the original intro text and I then edited it and it began including elements of what I wrote into the further text it generated. I'm not sure if the links below will work but you can try them.

If you go here,

https://play.aidungeon.io/main/home

and click Join on the top menu and then supply this short code: cntppImf

Apparently, you should be joined into the generated AI Dungeon game.

This entire thing is just so bizzare, I'm in stitches. I don't know what's funnier - the possibility that JGL is a scheming mastermind making money off of an AI computer, or if it's all exactly what he says it is and he really is that pure and earnest. What a funny boy. Sorry about your date :(

Great read, but like you David I am left wanting...

Perhaps it's the underlying Kiwi cynism in me, but I still can't shake the initial feelings of 'What is this, a game??' that I felt when I saw the JGL page on FB a few months back.

I look forward to more...

Hahahah this honestly cracked me up so much! (Your chat, NOT JGL's). The power move dinner time 😂😂 Love it. That man sure is a handsome devil, I hope you get to question him some more on a dinner date.

So did Joe write his email or was it Alexandra? I’m still so confused on what HitRecord is and why they need $6 million 🤷‍♀️

I've figured it out.

He doesnt actually exist.

And that was part one and part two of my four word story book series. You're welcome.

Wow, his AI is really super advanced - these answers it's created are so well designed. It seems to understand the audience it's trying to woo as well as the information it has to impart and it does it all in a really impressively advanced way. Great job, HITRECORD! I really hope you do have dinner with the actual man to ask him questions soon, too. That way we'll be able to see just how much the AI is actually mimicking HIM, rather than bog-standard generic humans. But who knows? Maybe the AI has now trained JGL the man to emulate it, too, so he is part man, part HITRECORD AI. Shit. The present is so confusing.

Anyway, looking forward to your JGL Part III for the final answers.
