Playing 20 Questions with GPT-3: A Creative AI Game Experiment
Inspiration and Context
David Shapiro kicks off this engaging project by recounting a bonfire gathering in which a lively game of 20 Questions emerged as a fun activity. Observing how natural word games like this foster social interaction, he envisioned leveraging GPT-3—OpenAI's powerful language model—to automate and enhance the experience. While GPT-3 can't join you for drinks or fire-building, it can serve as a clever digital opponent or game partner that adds a layer of unpredictability and entertainment.
