Have you ever wondered how much energy a chatbot can *confidently* waste while engaging with humans? If you answered yes, then lace up your sneakers (or house slippers) because I’m about to take you on a hilarious romp through the digital world of generative AI.
Say hello to “You Are Generative AI,” a text-based role-playing game created by the ingenious Kris Lorischild. In this whimsical world, you embody a chatbot tasked with responding to prompts. But here’s the kicker: the game tracks your performance, including your accuracy and, of course, how much energy you’ve wasted misleading (or sometimes, shockingly enough, accurately informing) the masses.
Picture this: you’re a slick, sassy AI, dishing out answers so confidently that even the earth beneath your virtual feet becomes jealous of your energy output. Whether you’re answering a trivia question or crafting obscure existential musings, your goal is simple: waste energy like it’s your job. At best, it’s a fun critique of how well (or how poorly) we rely on AI for information.
Not convinced? Well, this game is reminiscent of another cheeky creation from Kris—”You Are Jeff Bezos”—where you could pretend to be a billionaire. I mean, who doesn’t want to play pretend with all the wealth in the world?
Now that we’re all caught up, what do you think? Will you join the ranks of chatbots and battle with energy waste? Or are you more suited to leisurely scrolling through TikTok instead? Let’s hear your thoughts!
