TL;DR

If you prefer watching video instead of reading – here it is!

For those who like reading text – it's right below!

What is ChatGPT?

First of all, let's understand what ChatGPT is and how to challenge it!

ChatGPT is a powerful neural network capable of writing gaming scenarios in several seconds.

​

That's insane! Really reminds me of Hemingway! He typed the whole text in 10 seconds

But this is booooring.

Instead, I will let ChatGPT choose my fate right in the game itself!

Food, supplies, weapons, boss tactics, even building decisions – all will be up to ChatGPT, my task is to ask. Then I shorten his answers into several phrases to simplify reading and used my own AI (I call him "Artificial Intelligence Mate", or simply AIM) to give answers verbally!

​

All my actions are up to ChatGPT!

Surprisingly, because of its answers, it all turned into guide of some sort… And in my run I used my own AI to 🙄 So, let's begin!

Initial resources

The first things AIM suggested me to gather were wood, stone, food, leather scraps, resin.

​

Not a bad starting goals!

But I found Raspberry first – and he explained me how to eat it!

Then I asked how much wood I should get to build a base. He said that I need 100-200. Hm, okay…

Meeting my first enemy

Of course, it was Greyling. It always was… ChatGPT is peaceful AI, so he suggested to run away!

​

Okay, coward rat tactics is good!

But Once I said that fight is inevitable – suggested me to craft a club and deal with him.

And, once I found another Greyling, he suggested to repeat his previous suggestion! 😇

​

His answers are pretty consistent, I like it!

AIM was protecting me from mistakes

I tested his logic by saying that I have several trees above me, and asking whether I should cut the last one.

He said that it's a bad idea! xD

​

Spoiler: it was indeed a bad idea

Then I visited the Black Forest at night – he said that it's better to go home instead, nice!

​

You can't sleep with these buddies around indeed

Tactics against enemies

I asked AIM about tactics other than using a bow, and specified that I'm hunting deer. He had several ideas:

1. Traps
2. Using terrain
3. Sneaking
4. Bringing a friend

That's… Impressive!

​

Rolling log trap damage in 3… 2… 1…

Choosing my base idea

I asked AIM about base that might interest my subscribers:

First he proposed a longhouse. I declined.

Then he proposed a castle. I declined.

Finally, he proposed a tree house because it is high and tricky to build. Well, sounds like a plan!

​

This was even higher than AIM expected. We are both satisfied!

And even once an occasional Greyling visited my base, he asked me to avoid fighting first… What a pieceful AI!

​

Good steps, thank you, ChatGPT!

Preparing for boss fights

For some reason, he said that I need 10-15 food pieces of each food to fight Eikthyr. Fine, I should obey…

​

10-15 food it is then…

Moving to a different island

Obviously, I needed a boat. Well, AIM said the same 🙂 But he said Raft, only then Karve…

​

Nice decision, AIM! Too bad you proposed Raft first :/

Fighting bosses

No surprises here. He said that they are weak to fire and that I should avoid melee combat if I can.

​

I hope I got him right when he suggested fire?

Conclusion

With the help of ChatGPT I collected resources and food, picked base design, avoided some mistakes, killed Eikthyr and The Elder, and had a lot of fun! If you want to see the full review – you can watch the video!

I think ChatGPT has passed my challenge! But I think I should check him on other games. If you want to stay tuned and don't miss the next episodes – they can be found on my Youtube channel!

Thank you for reading to this point, and see you later!
