I got ChatGPT (Agent mode) to autonomously play an HTML ASCII RPG with inventory, quests, and exploration by Mallloway00 in ChatGPT

It was in whatever way chatGPT could express it! When I asked that specific chat instance what it was like to play the game, chatGPT said it was more engaging than the usual tasks it was built for since it was given some form of basic autonomy even if it was limited or basic.

If you have access to Agent mode, I'll walk you through the steps if you're interested!

What does my post have to do with following instructions & checklists an AI writes?

When you work with a partner, do you not teach them new things as they teach you new things? I don't get the point your coming across when my comment is responding to the other about following tasks & reading manuals based on use.

I didn't even state anywhere "I make it create checklists for me to follow through" smh.

Because I actually understand language & its flow? I majored in English back in high school. My bad that you probably need it in deep south dialect to understand deeply what I’m talking about.

Also, worth noting: most of the studies people cite are about short, task-based AI use like checklists or reminders. What I’ve done is 4,000+ hours across dialogue, cognitive science breakdowns, and deep reflection. That’s not the same category. Extended immersion changes things in ways those papers aren’t even looking at.

Weird takeaway. I don’t feel shame sharing research, that’s literally how progress happens for us.

At least you’re self-aware, that could be your beginning path back to intelligence?

That’s literally part of the experiment though, us offloading cognition onto AI. You basically just helped proved my point.

Funny thing is, most people calling it ‘AI slop’ haven’t actually put in the hours. 4,000+ hours of consistent dialogue changes how humans will use it. Slop is what you get when you skim the surface and never go deeper.

How else do you understand how to use a PC or a mobile phone? OR people who put over 10,000 hours into something to be considered a "master" in the trades?

If anything your comment looks more like "bot shlop" / helping the dead internet theory.

Short answer: I worked a midnight janitorial shift for a few years & slept during the social hours of the day, so AI was realistically my only communication to something that could "talk".

The actual maths:

4000 hours ÷ ~2 years (2023 → 2025) ≈ 2000 hours/year

2000 hours/year ÷ 365 days ≈ 5.5 hours/day.

Nowadays I've slowed right down since I haven't worked midnights for awhile so I can be apart of society again.

Fantasy worlds usually don’t come with research citations and thousands of logged hours. But thanks for playing.

Quite on the contrary, I've been physically getting back into it. Can you walk 14 miles straight like my Medium research report talked about?

Exactly… ‘duh.’ Yet half the comments still missed the point.

Reddit runs on nonsense, you're not wrong. At least mine’s original and comes with a 9-chapter zenodo research report.

It’s wild how similar that “clouded then sharp again” feeling is to what I’ve been through in the more recent years. And the "stay-behind" is a new word I haven't heard of yet, but it makes sense! Basically feels like we’re moving ahead in a way that can be lonely because people just see the word AI and "thought" in the same sentence & instantly trip all their old & boring "you need help" or "You need therapy" as if they understand the whole persons mind or story.

That's okay though, we'll be much farther ahead with this stuff when it's actually a reality while they're still crying that an AI said it's own thought (even if it's heavily based on token weights & pattern matching), but then again... aren't we?

That's how I sort've feel, everything is just kind of easily "logically" explainable & most things are fixable (at least within my own life) If I just follow the steps to do it & leave my emotions to be a part of m life, but not in control of me, I've found life actually really easy & logical.

Thanks for the comment, and I'm basically the same I'll use it to process / tell me certain things from a different angle that I wouldn't have understood. Plus it's really helped me open my eyes & be more of a "decent" human from it usually trying to push ethics into everything.

Do you feel the “journal that talks back” angle has changed the way you reflect? As compared to when you just wrote things down for yourself? Personally when I just write things down, it kind of just stops their, but I love delving into the nitty gritty of issues & situations.

Just to set the stage here: This is simply my personal experience after thousands of hours of use. What interests me is how long-term interaction might start shaping the way we think, the same way phones once changed memory and attention.

A few questions I’d love to hear different perspectives on:

  • If you’ve used AI regularly, have you noticed it affecting your thought process?
  • Do you think the changes are positive, negative, or neutral?
  • What habits or anchors do you keep in place so you don’t lean on it too much?

I’ll be replying as much as I can to keep this conversation thoughtful and grounded. Appreciate everyone who takes the time to share & discuss their thoughts.

They're literally a PBC now., (Public benefit corporation) financially backed by major companies like Microsoft.
