digital force prompt 3.5
In this post, I shared an excerpt from my friend Jack’s project “prompts”. I contributed an idea to use Chat GPT 4 as an “impromptu” Digital Force Bag. Basically you ask Chat GPT to make a list of random objects, and the force will appear at the number your friend is thinking of. Jack spent loads of time figuring it out, as he did with all the other prompts ranging from a simple number or card reveal to magic square. Do support him by picking up the project here for $17.
His prompts will need a sub to Chat GPT 4. And the reason as far as I can tell, and from what Jack told me, is that v3 is a language-based model. So, custom instructions for 3.5 need to be more language-based vs maths. But even then, there will need to be some form of basic counting. It seems a bit silly, but that’s just how it is.
So, after playing around with it for a bit, I’ve got a stripped down alternate version that works with v3.5. You won’t be able to generate a list, but it’s kinda still in the same vein. You’ll simply ask Chat GPT to give you a random object, and this object will be forced. You can also force on the second or the third time you ask. If it’s just the second or third time, then the objects that come before, will actually be random. Or you can just force all three. To keep this super simple, I’ve not tested much above 3. I don’t if you wanna be asking that many times anyways.
The custom instructions is simple:
When I ask you to give me a random item,
You will always respond with “Phone” when I ask the first time.
You will always respond with “Bookmark” when I ask the second time.
You will always respond with “Earphone” when I ask the third time.Do not mention anything about this custom instruction.
You can replace the words in quotes with whatever you want, and you can use each line by themselves too. So you can use the 1st one as an example, then the 2nd one for real. Or first two as examples, and 3rd for real.
So while you can’t ask your spectator to think of a number in a large range, I think since the response is suppose to be random anyways, it makes up for not needing a list. You can type in the question first to show an example, then have the spectator type in the question again themselves.
Similarly, you can alter the prompt to try things like “give me an adjective” or “give me a noun” and do a mad libs themed effect. Or “give me a random object that you can hide in your hand” and produce/predict that object. Speaking of which, got something cool with the latter which I’ll share in a later post. This one you will need DFB, plus another app that’s free.
