AI Dungeon: A GPT-2 based Game Master. Let the computer guide you through a bizarre adventure.

Since last year, OpenAI has been warning us about the grave implications that releasing a full GPT2 model would bring to the world. As the guys at Computerphile showed, it's not a casual danger but a very real one, if one that is easily misunderstood by non-developers.

However, that doesn't mean that we can't have fun with it! In fact, GPT-2 is so good at roleplaying that a group of awesome developers released an AI-based adventure game master called AI Dungeon. Since the release, many people have shown us the enormous possibilities for fun with this tool.

More than a game, it's a game host. Everyone can design their own universe and game mode, download the model and play it however they want. Some Youtubers have given us some great examples, and there's just so much, just search AI Dungeon on YouTube and there are videos coming out more and more often. Another source of funny AI Dungeon content is the r/AIDungeon subreddit

It's not perfect, of course, and if you're not careful and don't know how to lead it properly, it can guide you through some very bizarre imagery. Many people use it for "sexy" NSFW adventures, and the community is inevitably growing popular. This is a net positive for us "old" fans who have been loving this game since it came out 3 months ago (Dec 2019). The web version of the game has been improving massively recently and it's way more playable now than it was 1 month ago.

I invite y'all to jump in. There's a new Steem AI Dungeon community lead by @inertia where we'll be sharing our adventures in the game as we come to play it more regularly!

To play the game, simply head onto play.aidungeon.io and start your adventure! You can then share it on Steem for profits. I had a pretty funny one when I was starting this account on Steem a month ago and I'd say it was double fun, the playing and the sharing.
