This was pretty great. It does a fantastic job of highlighting the ways that LLMs can warp people's connection to art as well as the ways in which people can unwittingly sabotage themselves with these LLMs. The happyhomes woman is an especially depressing case. I also really like the timer and the miniscule amounts of time freely given and taken away by the tester. It feels really hopeless whether you do your job perfectly or not. It's horrible to imagine needing to spend more than 190 years as a chatbot just to get your body back. Great job.
This hit home much harder than I wanted it to. Phenomenal, love the concept and the execution! I love it! As others said, the little bits of world building and peeks at the larger world and Implications pulled so much weight.
Playing as the chatbot itself gave me a whole diff perspective. In an era where people have become overly reliant on LLMs and whatnot, seeing how users interact with them from the other side was incredibly eye-opening. And even though the topic of AI is pretty depressing on its own, your game helped me realize that we can still do things ourselves if we’re willing to try (ง •̀_•́)ง That contrast really stuck with me!!
This also hit close to home (cue yapping) because I recently applied for a job, and the person I was communicating with replied using AI-generated emails. That honestly broke my heart a little (；＿；) They asked me to complete some unpaid tasks to evaluate my skills, and when I asked for feedback, they sent me AI-generated evaluation forms. That hurt even more (╥﹏╥) In the end, they just ghosted me... so yeah lol but still disappointing.
It made me wonder: is this really the direction the world is heading? A future where we’re forced to rely on AI for everything? Isn’t there something we can do about it? So I genuinely appreciated the message your game offered. Huge thanks to the team ♡
This was really well done, you really captured the mindset of people who rely on LLMs to “express themselves” or do their job for them, utterly devoid of the creative joy they are paradoxically seeking for with a desperate fervor.
I don’t know if the parallel was intentional but I believe in real life there have been multiple instances of “AI” that were revealed to be outsourced human labor.
It feels very realistic to imagine CEOs just getting frustrated with the current limitations and deciding to just wire up human brains to keep the grift going.
The third client was so sad. Getting little glimpses into the truly dystopian world hidden in some of the dialogue choices was also very effective. The music and SFX, visual presentation and writing were all very compelling. Well done!
You see, few people take the time to really question: "How could I make the experience of AI chatbots WORSE"
Having people (or... maybe they are AI's that are given robot bodies? Pretty much the same thing anyhow) Need to log in and answer inane ai chatbot prompts so that way they can get more time to spend in their physical human body is a wild idea, but it is equal parts harrowing and interesting. Really gets to the heart of all the wild shit people ask AI chatbots for, from wanting the chatbot to provide them therapy and moral support (don't even need to mention the services that are entirely about having AI do that) to having AI generate things that a human would be better off pondering, or shit for business ideas.
Regardless. I found the game interesting and I enjoyed my time with it.
