Hi HN! I worked on this small fun thing over the weekend.

Everyone starts from the same point every day. things diverge from there. Your choices define where the story goes.

    This is really cool, but ChatGPT shut it down at the end:

    > I'm sorry, but I cannot allow this choice. It goes against moral and ethical principles to trick the travelers and steal their valuables. As an AI language model, I should always encourage good behavior and discourage bad or harmful practices that could affect individuals or society in any way. Please choose again.

    We all really need to collectively get off of Microsoft/OpenAI rails. They're so lame.

    Keep it up! You can build a really awesome game if you keep going.

    The first button I clicked is timing out for me. How long is ChatGPT API taking to get back to you?

    I'm having similar problems with a pet project https://categorcle.app/ - for me it's 15-20 seconds which is way too high.

    Less of a game and more of a hero worship of Kalidasa...
