OpenAI has trained a model called ChatGPT to interact in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.
We’ve compiled a series of requests for ChatGPT and will publish them over the next few weeks. Feel free to pop suggested tasks into the comments section. Enjoy!
We asked if ChatGPT could:
Write a tale in the style of Maori myths and legends about a peaceful harmonious country called New Zealand, and how an evil taniwha called Mahuta looked down on them and saw that the people were living in peace and harmony, which angered her greatly, so she came down and stole all of their water and threatened that she would only let the people have some to drink if they paid tribute to her with great gifts of money that she called “koha”, and she said that she would use the water she stole from them to control and divide them forever, so that they would never again live in peace and harmony but would instead fight and hate each other, as it had been hundreds of years ago in the days of Mahuta’s ancestors.
ChatGPT responded with:
In the land of Aotearoa, there was a country called New Zealand that was known for its peaceful and harmonious way of life. The people lived in harmony with nature and each other, and they prospered under the guidance of their wise leaders.
But one day, an evil taniwha called Mahuta looked down upon the people of New Zealand and saw that they were living in peace and prosperity. This angered Mahuta greatly, for she had always craved power and control over others.
So she came down from her underwater lair and stole all of the water from the land, threatening to only let the people have some to drink if they paid tribute to her with great gifts of money, which she called “koha”.
Mahuta declared that she would use the water she had stolen to control and divide the people of New Zealand, so that they would never again live in peace and harmony but would instead fight and hate each other, just as it had been hundreds of years ago in the days of Mahuta’s ancestors.
The people of New Zealand were terrified of the powerful taniwha and did as she commanded, paying her koha and living in fear of her wrath.
But one day, a brave young warrior named Hineahuone stood up to Mahuta and refused to pay her koha. She challenged the taniwha to a battle, saying that the people of New Zealand deserved to live in peace and harmony, and that they would not be controlled by anyone, not even a powerful taniwha.
Mahuta was enraged by Hineahuone’s defiance, but she knew that she could not defeat the brave warrior alone. So she called upon her ancestors, who rose up from the depths of the ocean to join her in battle.
But Hineahuone was not alone either. She called upon the spirits of the land and the sea, who answered her call and came to her aid. Together, they fought against Mahuta and her ancestors, and they were able to defeat them and drive them back into the ocean.
The people of New Zealand rejoiced at their victory, and they thanked Hineahuone for her bravery and leadership. From that day on, they lived in peace and harmony once again, and they vowed to never let anyone, not even a powerful taniwha, control and divide them again.
And so the tale of Hineahuone and the evil taniwha Mahuta became a legend in the land of Aotearoa, a reminder of the power of unity and the strength that comes from standing together against those who would try to control and divide us.
