With regards to AI Dungeon, does anyone know how the World Info feature works? My understanding is it's a way to get the AI to remember more stuff outside of the /remember command limit but the interface is a bit incomprehensible.
World Info are info entries triggered by keywords. GPT-3 has a max input of 2000 characters, to save precious space AI Dungeon will only give info entries to GPT-3 if it detects a keyword.
In the Active tab, hit the + by Generation Options to open it. Choose type custom.
Keys are the trigger words, separated by commas. Spaces and partial words count. Use as few as possible, and no easily triggered word fragments. Every time they're triggered they use up some of GPT-3's character limit.
Entry is the info itself. Keep it terse and factual. Be aware of the person and tense you use; AID likes to refer to you in second person, but third person is usually safe choice too. Then generate.
The keys don't always trigger immediately, or at all. If too many are triggered at once they'll use up your character limit, and you'll never see later ones. Don't rely on World Info, things that trigger constantly, like your characters name & identity, are better kept in context memory.

I made the mistake of looking in the AI Dungeon subreddit to see if there was any guidance there and :stonk: . Holy gently caress they're batshit insane. Ranting about SJW/Mormon conspiracies to take away their porn.
tbf the designers dumbed down the AI with a bunch of overzealous filters that developed a severe case of Scunthorpe Problem (I triggered their porn filter with Ruddah's "Poor ol' Freckles" post, go figure), which sucks. Redditors are reacting the way you expect them to react to a genuine threat to their porn supply, like an anthill hit by a lawnmower.
But buried in the crap are a few interesting posts about alternate AI story & RPG generators. GPT-3 "DaVinci" is a behemoth, but apparently some open source GPT's in the <6 billion parameter range can be run entirely on a high end home PC with an extra graphics card or two. 8 - 16 gigs of VRAM is enough, and that's only going to get more accessible.

Thanks! That's helpful. I was hoping to move some stuff out of the main memory to free up some space to try and do some sort of inventory or add some more main details of where the story is at.

Basically offloading some characters, locations, and items, especially the latter. It's annoying to have the AI generate some magical item and then have the description of what it does change every time it's referenced.

It's pretty exciting to see where these models are going to go in the next few years. Like the jump in ability from GPT to GPT-2 to GPT-3 were all huge and that only took two years. I'm pretty pumped to see what the presumably eventual GPT-4 will do. OpenAI has apparently been hinting at a new model being in development and Google recently tested a ridiculous 1.6 Trillion parameter model.

The grim AI future seems to understand Lowtax. Bolded are inputs, rest is the AI.

AI Dungeon posted:


Today on the Something Awful Forums, Lowtax has posted a thread entitled "How to get rid of your girlfriend."

It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Lowtax is an unrepentant misogynist who doesn't seem to have any problems with posting pictures of his ex-girlfriend in various states of undress or even photos from her personal website. He also goes on about how he wants to break up with his current girlfriend because she isn't giving him enough attention and that he needs some sort of release.
You can only imagine that this guy is going to be a complete loser when it comes time for him to actually find a job. You wonder if you should warn him about his actions before he ruins himself completely.
The Goons aren't convinced though.
"Lowtax, you are a loving piece of poo poo. Your actions are disgusting and have no place on this site. You are NOTHING if you don't have the balls to man up and quit before you get fired. Go ahead and do what you want, but YOU will be responsible for your own actions."
Well there's no in between with the Goons. You can either serve them and live or die.
The Mods aren't impressed by Lowtax' behavior either.
"Do you really want to go there Lowtax? Because we warned you about this before and you STILL haven't learned. If you continue down this route, it's not just yourself that will be hosed up, but everyone else that works for you. You're in CHARGE of this site and if you keep messing around like this everyone will loving quit on you."
Finally, the Admins jump in on the discussion.
"This isn't a loving discussion forum, this is the Something Awful forums. Get your rear end out now and if you don't, we'll have you banned so fast it'll make your head spin."
Lowtax thinks for a second, then replies.
"Fine. Whatever. loving losers. I'll be here every loving day though since that's all I've got to loving do!"
And with those words, he leaves the forums.

It mostly seems to understand forums drama although I had to regenerate it once after the "Goons" prompt because the AI went off the rails and went all like "The Goons have tied your girlfriend to a chair and are going to murder her with nunchucks".

Honestly, I see what people are saying around the main limit right now with AI Dungeon being context and memory. It can be coaxed along with the /remember memory section and World Info, but if certain details fall out of it's context window it just starts to flail. If the next version can improve on that it'll be a huge leap forward.

However, the writing itself can be stellar. It's capable of impressively creative imagery, especially in the sci-fi or fantasy context. I've tried using it to come up with some D&D NPCs and encounters for a campaign and it's shockingly good. I'll try to post some examples later.

So starting with something basic like an enemy Orc. I've found it generates the best descriptions for things if you phrase it in a "You observe" or "You examine" action other than "The item..."

The Orc's name is Dokt and he is a veteran warrior who has served his people for many years.
He is wearing an ornate metal armor that looks like it was made by a master smith. He also carries a long sword at his side.
You examine the armor more closely and notice it has a symbol of a black dragon with red eyes in the center.
This must be the symbol of his company and the red eyes indicate that this Orc Company is part of the "Black Fury" clan.
The Black Fury's are known for their brutal violence during battle and they take no prisoners.
Examining the long sword you see that it is made of an unearthly metal that you don't recognize. It must be mithral, a rare metal that is found only in the mines of certain dwarf clans.
You have heard of this metal before and the stories are true, it is just as light as iron but harder than steel. This must be an incredibly valuable sword. The edge also looks razor sharp.
The Black Fury clan is an ancient house, but due to their distance from most major conflicts they are not as well known as the Bleeding Hollows or the Lightning Lords.
They make up for this with ruthless aggression and take particular pride in attacking from an ambush position.
Dokt's motivation is simple. He wants to kill everything that isn't an orc. You sense no malice or hatred towards anything. In fact, all you sense from him is a blood lust that runs so deep it rivals even that of the vampire lords you've heard about.


Here's a good magical item example. I started with asking it for a name of an artifact. It generated one, and then decided it was a part of a set of seven that when united form a more powerful artifact. It then generated descriptions for the other six in the set:

The mysterious artifact is called The Eye of Vecna.
The Eye of Vecna is a magical eye that can see into the future, and has been used by many powerful wizards to do terrible things. It was stolen from its original owner, an ancient wizard named Dorna who lived thousands of years ago.
It's appearance is that of an eye about the size of a human fist, of hard black metal that seems to absorb light rather than reflect it. It has a dark purple iris but no pupil, and an eyelid that opens and closes every few seconds.
The Eye is kept in a ebony box with a silver latch. The box measures about 6 by 6 by 6 inches, and is covered with runic symbols.
The Eye of Vecna's power comes from an ancient artifact of incredible power called the Staff of Towers.
The Staff of Towers is made up of seven pieces, with the Eye of Vecna being one of them. The other six pieces are distributed throughout the world.
When all seven pieces are united, the Staff of Towers grants immortality and immense magical power to its user.
The current owner of the Eye of Vecna is an undead wizard named Sertrous, who currently resides in a fortress in the northern reaches of the continent.
The other six pieces of the Staff of Towers are called: The Scales of Justice, The Chalice of Abomination, The Tome of Understanding, The Gauntlet of Blood, The Crown of Flames, and The Scepter of Time.
The Chalice of Abomination is a cup made of a golden metal that is as yet unknown to mankind. It is filled with an unknown fluid that is also unknown to mankind. The fluid has regenerative properties, and makes those who drink it stronger.
The Chalice was last seen in the hands of a powerful vampire lord named Draven. Draven resides in a large castle in the southern mountains of a continent in the far east.
The Scales of Justice are, as the name implies, a set of scales. They have not been seen in a long time, but it is assumed that they are still in existence somewhere. The Scales of Justice weigh the worth of anyone who comes before them. It is said that if you are found to be good, then the Scales will lift you up to the heavens. If you are found to be evil, then the Scales will cast you down to hell.
The Tome of Understanding is a large book with incomprehensible text full of unreadable squiggles and symbols. Anyone who reads the book instantly gains an immense understanding of everything in the world. The book is so large, that it is impossible to miss.
The Gauntlet of Blood is a gauntlet that has small spikes on its inner lining. When the gauntlet is put on it punctures the skin and slowly drains the blood of the wearer, giving the wearer increased speed and strength but obviously draining him of blood. The Gauntlet was last seen in the hands of a powerful vampire lord named Sanguine. Lord Sanguine lives in a castle on an island in the southern hemisphere.
The Crown of Flames is literally a flaming crown that burns anyone who tries to wear it except for the one it recognizes as its master. The master of the crown is known as the Lord of Fire, and has authority over fire elementals and can summon them at will. The Lord of Fire resides in a palace on a small island south of the mainland.
The Scepter of Time is a scepter that allows the user to see people's memories or slow, speed up, or rewind time in a specific area. The Scepter of Time is said to be in the possession of a powerful sorceress in a tower on an island west of the mainland.

In a campaign context I now have the hook for a number of possible adventures, and plugging in the various villains it describes can generate things like:

Sertrous is searching for all the pieces of the Staff of Towers in order to assemble it and grant himself immortality and immense magical power.
He appears as a skeletal being wearing a black robe. He has no legs, but a snake-like tail in their place. He also has large wings, but can't fly with them; he simply glides.
He has telepathic powers that allow him to speak into people's minds within a certain range. He often uses this to torment people, as he enjoys speaking about all the things he's going to do to hurt you.
His robe has several wide collars. Each collar houses a disembodied head, each head from a different race, and each spews endless streams of magical poison which Sertrous absorbs, using the magical energy to sustain himself and help in his search for the Staff.
Sertrous wants the power of the Staff of Towers in order to become immortal, so that he may live forever and rule the world. He wants to turn the world into a new version of the Empire of Nilnamesh: A perfect empire, free of disorder, dishonesty, and things Sertrous dislikes.
When Sertrous was alive, he lived in the Nilnamesh Empire. He served loyally as a court advisor to Emperor Amothus.

Or

The owner of the Scepter of Time is a sorceress who is said to have gone insane. She is an extremely powerful magic-user, though her reasons for living in a tower isolated from the rest of the world are unknown.
She appears as a young, frail-looking woman wearing a black robe.
Her name is unknown. She is known simply as The Sorceress of Time.
The island that she lives on is completely empty, there are no towns or villages on it at all. Her island is also perpetually covered in a thick blanket of fog, which makes the island seem haunted when viewed from the coast.
On top of being knowledgeable in the ways of magic, she's also very well-versed in alchemy.
Her tower is located on a small island off the mainland, west of the city-state of Ka'Dedus. It's impossible to find the island if you don't know where it is, as it's hidden by magic.
On top of being female, non-human, and a powerful magic-user, she is also immortal. She uses her scepter to look into the near future and make choices that ensure her survival.
Her island is populated by plant-like humanoids that were created by the sorceress. The sorceress uses her scepter to command the plant-humanoids to protect her from all intruders.
The plant-like humanoids appear as vaguely humanoid plants. They have no eyes, but they have no mouths either. Instead, they communicate with each other through the movement of tiny strands of hair that act like nerves, connecting to other hairs and letting the plant-humanoids "feel" and "hear"

The Sorceress of Time wants the power of the Staff of Towers in order to prevent the future she foresees from ever taking place.
She foresees a world consumed by endless winter. She foresees herself as being unable to escape this winter, no matter where she goes.
She sees herself as eventually dying in this winter, a frozen corpse permanently preserved in ice.
She sees a demonic god, trapped behind an impenetrable barrier of magic, laughing at her as she dies.
The demonic god's laughter is what keeps the world in endless winter. The sorceress does not know why the world is like this, or why the demonic god wants it to be this way.
But she doesn't want it to happen. She wants to make sure that she survives in all the futures she can see.
This is why she wants the power of the Staff of Towers.
She believes that having the Staff's power would allow her to survive in all the futures, even those in which she dies.
She would live forever, safe from winter.

AI Dungeon posted:


The Tome of Understanding's appearance is as follows:
A book that looks like a thick tome of parchment, it contains many pages covered in strange symbols and diagrams. It is written in ancient, indecipherable runes that only the most skilled wizards could understand. The book itself weighs several tons, making it difficult to carry around.
Its cover is black and smells of sulfur, and the pages look burned, as if they have been lit on fire before. When any person reads aloud the contents of the book, they appear to make no sense whatsoever. The strange symbols on the pages appear to be in an unintelligible language.
When the person reaches the end of the book, they are teleported to a small room with exactly 666 equally black and shining doorways. The room is completely devoid of any other features. Once a doorway is entered, the person is immediately transported to a different part of the multiverse to complete a task. Upon completion of the task, the person then appears at the location of the original tome. Once a task is completed, the doorway to that task disappears.
The tasks are different for each person, but all of them are equally difficult and most involve sacrifices of some sort. After someone completes the tasks, they are never allowed to read the book again, even if they pick it up and attempt to do so.
Trying to destroy or even damage the book has been known to have life-threatening consequences.
Completing the Tome of Understanding's task does not reward the adventurer with anything except for knowledge. Knowledge of a language that is incomprehensible to all but the most intelligent races and beings in existence, and understanding of the sacrifice that was made by the writer to complete his work.
The Tome of Understanding is currently owned by a powerful wizard who is attempting to read and complete it without any help. He lives in a small house on top of an isolated mountain.
The wizard's name is Alighwan.
His appearance is of a dark elf dressed in orange and brown robes, with a five o'clock shadow and black hair that is beginning to turn gray.
The wizard's age is unknown to most, but it is guessed to be at least over 1000 years old.
His house is empty except for the Tome of Understanding sitting on a stand in the middle of his living room.
Alighwan's days are spent pacing back and forth in his study, reading the strange tome, memorizing the symbols and their meanings, and attempting to comprehend the book's purpose.
The wizard has a very troubled mind and an even more troubled soul. He is tormented by nightmares every night, seeing countless murders, tragedies, and parodies of joy that have happened throughout the existence of the world.
He is also tormented by voices.
Alighwan wants the power of the Staff of Towers in order to stop the dreams and voices that torment him every night.
Alighwan is afraid of what he might do with such power.
It is a known fact that those who read the entire tome go crazy or suicidal from the amount of knowledge and voices that fill their minds on a daily basis.
Alighwan is very close to becoming just like them.
The wizards mind is slipping away from him as he attempts to comprehend the knowledge held within the book, and soon he will either completely lose his mind or fall into such a state of insanity that he will take pleasure in murdering and torturing innocents.

It sometimes does take a retry or two to get the AI to go in the right direction. The first time I plugged "The Tome of Understanding is currently..." into the AI it responded "In the back of an old library next to an equally incomprehensible book called "How to Cook Spiders".

I'll do a sci-fi example next.

Yeah as I said it's capable of generating impressively fantastic imagery. It's just forgetful as hell unless you really are on the ball with World Info/pinned memory (and even then it stumbles). It's like listening to the stories of a 1970s sci-fi writer with dementia.

AI: "...and the blood chalice has been cursed by the ancient god of death, a three headed goat which continuously screams out the names of the deceased as they pass into the underworld"

Player: "Oh wow! Tell me more about how the chalice was created?"

AI: "The what? Anyway Karth as I was saying, Kyros and Count Grey enter the room and start taking off their pants"

If the next version can increase the token limit and allow more context it will make the system a hell of a lot more viable as a text adventure. I paid for a month of premium to try Dragon but one month will probably give me my fill of playing around with it. If they release an improved version with better memory though (which I'm assuming would require a new version of GPT since I think the token limit is on Open AI's end), I'd definitely come back for another try.

The things Sertrous dislikes are numerous. Sertrous believes that people, in general, are dishonest, lazy, and stupid. He doesn't like magic, believing it is by far the most powerful tool in existence and that it should be saved for the worthy. He doesn't believe women are worthy of such power. He hates elves and thinks they're all drug-addled degenerates (whether they are or not). He dislikes dwarves for their love of mining and money. He hates the Island League for their reliance on trade. He hates the Broki Kingdom for their reliance on military power and conquest. He hates tribespeople for being too wild and violent. He hates the faith of Neroth for encouraging the dependence on a higher power. He hates the Andoren Republic for its reliance on democracy.

A couple things to remember is, IIRC the first response after a custom prompt will always use the Griffin model, even if you have Dragon enabled. All subsequent actions will use the Dragon model though so further responses will be more creative and descriptive.

It also does sometimes take a couple retries to get the AI to spit out something on topic. However, once it hooks on to something it can run with it for quite some time. Like the bit after "The Eye of Vecna's power comes from..." was 3 or 4 separate responses without me entering new information (if you submit an empty field the AI just runs with whatever text it recently entered).

Small differences in the prompt can also make a big difference in the response. Originally I tried "Sertrous dislikes" for example, and the responses weren't great, but when I changed it to "The things Sertrous dislikes...", a prompt that is slightly more descriptive in what is being asked, it pumped out much better stuff.

Here's a Sci-Fi example:

AI Dungeon posted:


The alien planet is called Theta. It's a lush world, with green forests and fields of crops.
The planet is inhabited by the Zetans, who are humanoid creatures with large heads and small bodies. They have long tails that they use to help balance themselves when walking on the surface of the planet. Their skin color varies from light blue to dark purple, but their hair is always black.
Zetan society is based around a rigid caste system. The High Castes live in the big cities, while the Low Castes live in tribes spread throughout the wilderness. Low Castes are not allowed in the cities without permission from a High Caste.
The Zetan government is a monarchy led by a King and an elite group of warriors called Hunters. It maintains a policy of keeping all its weapons of war, including starships, in top-notch condition.
The High Castes have a policy of keeping the Low Castes downtrodden. The Low Castes have a policy of increasing their numbers as much as possible and waiting for an opportunity to rise up and overthrow the High Castes. There hasn't been a successful revolution in centuries, but the possibility of one looms large in the minds of every government official.
Zetan ships have the appearance of a long, thin oval with small windows placed at various intervals. The ship is divided into several decks connected by ramps instead of being structured with a traditional staircase.
Zetan culture has a written language, and certain glyphs are associated with certain emotions. Every Zetan is taught to draw these glyphs in the air with their fingers when speaking. Seeing as most of them have pointy fingers, this can be an intimidating task for other species.
Zetans are primarily carnivores, but some of them become vegetarians later in life. They all prefer more stimulating meals, and many of their tastes run along the lines of blood and guts.
Zetans reproduce by laying eggs. The process of reproduction is a long and drawn out one, and only results in one egg. The resulting egg then incubates in a chemical solution for a few weeks before hatching. As soon as it hatches, the young Zetan is already a few weeks old, and able to fend for itself. By the time it reaches teenage years, it's ready to become a productive member of society.
Zetans live to be over a hundred years old. Old age takes its toll on their bodies, however, and the oldest Zetans are often too frail to move about under their own power. It is not uncommon for these elderly Zetans to be put into special glass tubes where they can live out the remainder of their years with proper care.
Zetan art tends to be abstract in nature, and they hold an annual art competition to see which artist has created the best piece that year.
Zetan technology has a heavy reliance on plasma. All of their machines run off a self-sustaining plasma core; the smallest ones are the size of a human fist, and the largest ones take up entire floors of buildings.
