GPT-3 predicted this. 🐈Excerpt from one of my first AI Dungeon adventures (all text by GPT-3):"What would you like to name it?"The kitten had reached its tiny head up toward Augustin's face. He stroked it gently. It was the first living creature he had touched in a long time. "Kittens are usually female," he said, "so I'll call her Poupée.""Poupée," repeated the hooded man. "A lovely name. Do you know what Poupées are?""They're objects made by people to look like real living creatures," said Augustin. The hooded man smiled, and tapped his finger on Augustin's temple. "Exactly right! Well done."Then he offered Augustin the wand, which could paint any form into reality. Augustin switched the kitten to be held by his left hand, so that his right hand could take the wand."Draw something, Augustin."He decided to draw a picture of Poupées. He created a canvas in the air, and began to paint quickly. The finished painting was of an infinite number of black kitten heads, shoulders, and front paws, all interconnected and overlapped, all facing different directions."It's... a masterpiece," said the hooded man. "A true masterpiece. My goodness."The infinite array of Poupées mewed and shifted as they crawled over each other. It made a cacophony."It's called 'Meow'," said Augustin. The original Poupée climbed onto his shoulder and meowed back at the organism."Meow," said the hooded man."How do I keep it?" said Augustin."Don't worry," said the hooded man, "as long as you remember this project and it's name, it's forever yours.""Really?""Yes.""No matter what?""No matter what.""Then I want to make it bigger."The man frowned. "Is... is that a good idea? I don't think that--"But Augustin was already concentrating, and the organism began to grow. It wrapped around the world, growing and meowing."STOP!" cried the hooded man, but it was too late.The meows echoed infinitely across the world.Then they quieted.Then they went silent.Then they stopped.Then they began again.The two sweated profusely. Time itself seemed to be broken. "What...?" said Augustin.The noise emanated from every corner of the world. No space was silent. No space was soundless. Every space was filled with the meowing of the Poupée Infinite."I'm sorry," said the hooded man. "I did not expect this.""Do something," said Augustin."I... can't.""Can't you make it stop?""No," said the hooded man, "I can't move it. And if I could, I wouldn't. It's gorgeous, Augustin. Just like you imagined. No one has ever done anything this big or imaginative before. You're a hero."
