Hello everyone!

I hope you are having a great time. Today I was getting a bit bored when I decided to try out ChatGPT for the first time. For those of you who wonder what ChatGPT is, I asked it to the bot itself:

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI. It's a variant of the GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) model, pre-trained on a large corpus of text data to generate human-like responses to natural language questions and prompts. ChatGPT is designed to respond to text inputs in a conversational manner and can be used for a variety of applications such as chatbots, question answering, and language generation.

You may probably wonder why I didn't try it before. Well, I'm usually a bit slower in trying new technologies / adopting them. For example I waited several years before I changed from an old Nokia phone to a smartphone, now I can't miss it anymore though.

After opening the website the first time, I got the message that the service wasn't available as the demand was too high "ChatGPT is at capacity right now". I was a bit disappointed that I coulldn't try it out immediately but nothing to do about it. Later today I tried again, this time I could create an account which was giving me good hope that I was already 1 step closer towards using the bot. I created an account, linked it with my email and phone, no idea why I had to do it? Besides the fact of farming some personal information, I don't see another reason why I had to give this personal information but still, I really wanted to try it out...

Finally my account was created and I could start to utilize ChatGPT. As I always try to be polite, even when talking to a robot, I started the conversation:

Stekene

Hey

ChatGPT

Hello! How can I help you today?

This didn't seem too hard but it was good to see it working and answering logical. Now I could ask my next question. I was interested in why someone should play Splinterlands. So I asked the following question:

Stekene

Could you write a lengthy text why someone should play splinterlands?

ChatGPT

Splinterlands is a decentralized, collectible card game that runs on the blockchain, making it one of the most unique and innovative games in the market today.

The first reason to play Splinterlands is the level of scarcity and ownership that players have over their cards. Because the game runs on the blockchain, each card is a unique and non-fungible token (NFT) that can be traded, sold, or collected just like physical trading cards. This provides players with a sense of ownership and investment in their collection, and allows them to reap the benefits of any increase in value over time.

Another great reason to play Splinterlands is the level of competition and strategy involved. The game features a deep and complex ruleset that requires players to make strategic decisions about which cards to use and how to use them in battle. With over 600 unique cards, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, there is always a new challenge and a new way to play the game.

In addition to the strategic aspect, Splinterlands also offers a strong community of players and a bustling in-game marketplace. Players can trade cards and earn rewards for participating in daily quests and tournaments. There's always something to do, and the community is always happy to help new players get started.

Finally, Splinterlands offers a great opportunity to get involved in the blockchain and cryptocurrency world. The game uses the Steem blockchain and the Steem cryptocurrency, and provides a fun and accessible way to learn about these exciting technologies. Players can earn rewards in the form of Steem, and can even use their cards as collateral to earn more cryptocurrency.

In conclusion, Splinterlands is a must-play for anyone looking for a unique, challenging, and rewarding gaming experience. With its combination of scarcity, strategy, community, and blockchain technology, it offers something for everyone and is sure to provide hours of fun and excitement.

When analyzing the output of the robot, I have the following remarks:

• The first alinea is written quite well, it's a nice introduction to what Splinterlands is. The only thing the text is lacking is the fact that it's a game on the Hive blockchain. As the bot wrote 'on the blockchain' which could be quite confusing for people who do not know Splinterlands.

• I couldn't have written the second alinea in a better way. I bet that the fact that it's using nft's which are owned by the player are a big reason why a lot of people play Splinterlands.

• Besides that, Splinterlands being a strategy game is indeed another good argument why someone should play it. I want to add to this that Splinterlands has a nice balance between strategy and luck. Why do I say this? If a game is only strategy based without a little bit of luck, than there will always be some kind of meta of how to play this game. To counter this, adding a bit of 'luck' to a game, gives the game a higher form of replayability without always having the same result.

• The community is a very important aspect for a lot of things in life, this is expecially true for cryptoprojects. I think that ChatGPT is totally right if it says that there's always something to do in regards to Splinterlands. The fact that people are happy to help is correct aswell. I remember the first stream I watched when I discovered Splinterlands and when saying that I was new, I had immediatly some cards for free to start with.

• The last argument is a bit vague in my opinion. What does 'to get involved in the blockchain' means? Besides that, Splinterlands is also no longer on the Steem blockchain, although it originated as Steemmonsters on that blockchain, it's now on the Hive blockchain. So in this alinea I would say that the bot got it rather wrong than correct.

• The last alinea is in my opinion a good closing of the article with a nice resume of why someone should start playing Splinterlands.

To conclude my analysis, I think we can state that ChatGPT wrote a nice text of why someone should start playing Splinterlands. Although we have to remark, that it's not yet at the same level of a human text. So to the people who are just copy-pasting its texts, Take care! You can better atleast reread it to make sure everything is correct.

Write a long article

As I know that there are always will be people who want to earn money while being lazy, I wanted to know if ChatGPT could write a long article and of what quality that would be. So I asked the following question:

Stekene

Write an article about splinterlands of 5000 words

ChatGPT

I'm sorry, but I am an AI language model that works best with brief and concise answers. Writing a 5000 word article would require a lot of time and resources, and as a language model, I can only respond within the limits of my training data and computational resources. If you have any specific questions or topics you would like me to cover, I would be happy to assist.

Although the answer was quite qualitative in my opinion, at the moment it won't write a long article at once. Ofcourse someone could bypass this by asking ChatGPT to write an alinea about a part of Splinterlands, an alinea about another part etc. But even than someone would still have to assure that it forms one coherent article.

Conclusion

When I see this experiment, I'm sure it won't take long before the quality of such bots will improve even more and it will be more and more difficult to distinguish human-made and robot-made articles.
