ChatGPT can pass college entrance exams, so why can't it solve Skyrim's easiest puzzle?

Bleak Falls Barrow contains Skyrim's first and easiest puzzle. But ChatGPT kept flunking it.

Worth reading this.. It's the future

I asked a ChatGPT Skyrim companion to solve the game's easiest puzzle, and it almost got me killed​

I won't go into what it requires to get this mod running in your own game of Skyrim, but it took me a couple hours of instruction-following, downloading, installing, updating, copy-and-pasting, and setting up a UwAmp server, not to mention a ChatGPT account (paid) to wire up OpenAI's talents to Herika and an Azure account (also paid) to add a text-to-speech system so the NPC companion could talk to me. There's also a speech-to-text utility so you can use your mic rather than typing questions into the chat pane (though I stuck with text chat).

I start with the basics, phrasing it as I would if I were really in Skyrim with a companion. "How do I open this gate?" I ask Herika in the chat pane.


Herika says: "Oh, I don't know, maybe try pulling the lever or pressing the obvious button next to the gate?"


That's cute! It's also… not actually correct, because there is no button next to the gate, there's only a lever. But I give her points for at least being a bit snarky about it, as well as knowing there's a lever to pull.


I try again. "Solve this gate puzzle," I say.


"Alright, let me look at it," she says. "Hmm… It seems that this puzzle requires you to align the symbols on the pillar in a certain order. Have you tried looking around for any clues?"

Hopefully they do it for starfield.

My head cannon is that the AI companion actually did want to kill him and was just intentionally fucking with him.

Truly dynamic AI that could actually double cross you and attempt to fool you. As this tech gets more advanced - it's the future.

They've been doing it for years on dating apps.

...wait, those were just real women?

Oh dragonborn, would you sheathe your *mighty* sword into my wet scabbard?

To add onto the OP:



While the voices need a bit better inflection, some of these were pretty good.

I'm actually very impressed, way better than I was expecting it to be at face value from the title. Man, this tech is gonna have a crazy impact on things.

I'd make fun of how heavily edited it looks, but this tech is getting better all the time. Still way too computationally heavy to run locally while playing a game, though.

I've always felt the civil war quest was missing the Moot, and the actual crowning of the High King/Queen. It would be a trivial mod, but you aren't going to get the original voice actors back.

This sounds like it could work.

I can't help but feel sorry for the guy who made Amorous Adventures by cut / editting / pasting dozens upon dozens of lines of dialogue ... now he could just have A.I. speak the lines he wanted.

 

[Hudo]

Man, I hope the guys and gals who worked at Infocom back in the day are seeing this.

 

[Valonquar]

Now replace EDI in Mass Effect

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

If this AI never took an arrow in the knee, I won't trust it and its place doesn't belong to Skyrim.

Better than Todds voice acting
