You MUST play AI Dungeon 2, a text adventure game run by a neural net.
@nickwalton00 built it using @OpenAI's huge GPT-2-1.5B model, and it will respond reasonably to just about anything you try. Such as eating the moon.

Since all the responses are generated on the fly by a neural net, your problem solving options aren't limited to what the game's programmers could imagine.

In AI Dungeon 2, a pretty effective strategy is to essentially Jedi mind trick the AI.
Present it with a reality that seems plausible to it, and it'll often work. I once got rid of a marauding ogre by reminding it that it was going to be leaving for Antarctica tomorrow.

The AI apparently really likes it when you ask nicely. “Sure, whatever you like, just happy there are politeness formulas to rely upon!”
By typing your own story intro, you can be anything - Jedi, starship captain, hogwarts student, unicorn, glowing cloud - but the neural net in AI Dungeon 2 is more used to humanoid characters so it forgot I was a goose and things got awkward
