These days, artificial intelligence has the possibility to revolutionize all aspects of our lives, including how we entertain ourselves, and the kinds of games we play. Recently, an online game called AI Dungeon, has seen how human-machine collaborations can quickly take a dark turn, but not for reasons you may think. Humans are making online games dark, not artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence, Online Games & Text-Generation Technology

To create a tailored adventure game inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, the online game AI Dungeon uses text-generation technology to draft the next phase of your personal adventure based on the text you input. As humans can have rather dark thoughts themselves, some very sinister stories were being created which involved violence and even sexual encounters with children.

GPT-3 Technology and Revealing Human Nature

The issue isn’t actually the game or even artificial intelligence technology, but humans. Using OpenAI’s new technology GPT-3, algorithms create personalized adventures by determining what text should come next after a user drafts a sentence of their own. If users input dark sentences, dark stories will be generated.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence & Online Gaming

The future of artificial intelligence’s use in online gaming represents the delicate balance between users having the freedom to openly express their ideas, while protecting against the spreading of hate speech, extreme violence, or sexual ideas against minors. Finding this happy medium for AI Dungeon users going forward will be the real test of our human-machine collaboration.
