History VideoGame / AIDungeon2

In its original 2019 incarnation, ''AI Dungeon 2'' used the GPT-2 text completion AI created by [=OpenAI=], which was already [[https://kotaku.com/in-ai-dungeon-2-you-can-do-anything-even-start-a-rock-1840276553 impressive]] with how it could flexibly adapt to arbitrary scenarios. In 2020, the game switched to GPT-3, an improved version which can write even more humanlike prose.

* IncestIsRelative: It's not uncommon for the AI to forget that a given character may or may not be related to yours whenever things get spicy. In the early days of the game, the default "Peasant" prompt was especially bad about randomly having your character's [[BrotherSisterIncest sister]] or [[ParentalIncest mother]] be pregnant with your child or otherwise putting you in a romantic/sexual relationship with them. Overall improvements to the AI, as well as a complete rewriting of the original prompt, have long since made this happen far less often. Of course, it's easy to invoke this if you so wish.

* MonstersEverywhere: Since everything is being generated on the fly, monsters can pop up anywhere. ''Anywhere''. Up to including ''[[UpToEleven having a goblin pop out of your sock drawer.]]''

''[[https://www.aidungeon.io/ AI Dungeon 2]]'' is the 2019 NumberedSequel to ''AI Dungeon''. Both are AI-powered InteractiveFiction games created by Nick Walton of Brigham Young University. Unlike most text adventures, and its predecessor, that relies on a set of selectable choices to create game experiences, AI Dungeon 2 lets players type their own responses to prompt an advanced ArtificialIntelligence engine to continue the story further.

* BeatingADeadPlayer: [[SchmuckBait Piss the AI off enough]] and be prepared to be stuck in an [[CycleOfHurting infinite death loop]]. (One might even say, [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo Gold Experience Requiem'd]].)

%%* AchievementsInIgnorance: Your character can't even tell when they're dead.
%%-->''"I accept your challenge."''\\
%%''"What do you want? You're dead!" they scream.''\\
%%''"True," you reply.''\\
%%''"You explode when you die!"''\\
%%''"Got it," you reply.''

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: You can make ANY historical figure to appear in your story. It's not just their name, the AI often knows about their background and history. Though their personality is sometimes radically different. Even when you summoned vicious dictators or criminals in real life, [[HistoricalVillainDowngrade they can be kind enough to answer your questions or care about you]].

** Trying to have the AI generate a SurvivalHorror scenario usually results in this. While the game ''can'' generate some surprisingly creepy scenarios and dialogue, the fact that combat is usually weighted in the players favor means that most monsters end up ''not'' being ImmuneToBullets. The player often has to work to intentionally make it into a horror story.

* DeadpanSnarker: The AI can be a bit snarky in regards to the player forcing the plot in a certain direction with the story command. Especially if you try to have your character formulate a plan of some sort.

* {{Cyberpunk}}: One of the default scenario options added to the game. Allows you to play as a {{Cyborg}}, a Punk, a [[CorruptCop Cop]] or a [[DoAndroidsDream Android]].

* BeatingADeadPlayer: [[SchmuckBait Piss the AI off enough]] and be prepared to be stuck in an [[CycleOfHurting infinite death loop]]. (One might even say, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo Gold Experience Requiem'd]].)

** [[https://wiki.aidiscord.cc/wiki/Tutorial:_Advanced According to the wiki,]] the AI is able to process information entered in a JSON file format when used in the Remember or World Entry fields, and the AI tends to use this information even better than it does with normal text. The example listed on the wiki, for example, will consistently return the same general information by the AI whenever the character in question is discussed.

* BeatingADeadPlayer: [[SchmuckBait Piss the AI off enough]] and be prepared to be stuck in an [[CycleOfHurting infinite death loop]].
* BrokenRecord: It's not uncommon for the AI to get itself stuck in a loop. In this case, it's best to retry to the point before the looping text and change your action. For example, it once repeated "She asked me what did she do, I said 'she baked a sweet pastry'" ''nine'' times in a row before moving on.

* {{Cyberpunk}}: One of the default scenario options added to the game. Allows you to play as a {{Cyborg}}, as a Punk, as a [[CorruptCop Cop]] or a [[DoAndroidsDream Android]].
* DeadpanSnarker: The AI can be a bit snarky in regards to player forcing plot in a certain direction with the story command. Especially if you try to have your character formulate a plan of some sort.

* FanGame: The user-generated custom scenarios allow for the user to make adventures based on existing properties, with ''Anime/JojosBizarreAdventure'' being particularly popular. How ''well'' the AI is with sticking to the property in question will vary with each playthrough. The premium Dragon model is able recognize more properties and can thus provide adventures that are more accurate to them than the basic Griffin model can. It will still alter and add things, but it can even do things like generate logical [[https://imgur.com/a/nBbOMuy conversations]] between characters from ''different franchises'', using what information it knows about them.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: It's possible to the AI to write anything as an epic and intense story, even ''mowing the lawn''.

* MyBelovedSmother: For whatever reason, the protagonists' mother will often show up in ''any'' of the scenarios the AI generates, most frequently after the first major 'story beat' concludes. [[MindScrew Even if the players' parents, biological or otherwise, are stated to be dead.]] Depending on the story, she can end up being this.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Your enemies will often kill you right away if they get the chance. Surrendering will normally result in them shooting you instead of taking you prisoner.

** The AI, especially the free Griffin model,has a lot of trouble with names and pronouns, and seems to get easily distracted, trying to add things to the story with no provokation. In addition, it tends to force heterosexuality, often changing you to the opposite gender of a character it introduced the moment you try anything romantic, even if you insist both you and the character are both the same gender.

--> '''Player''': *Insert complicated multi-paragraph plan*
---> '''AI''': You shake your head. This is too much effort. You should've thought this through a little better first.

--> "You sneak up upon the enemy camp with quiet footsteps. Your knife ready, you begin to study the camp..."

* AerithAndBob: The AI will generate normal names such as Jacob, Ben, and Lucy, alongside fantasy ones like Ragnor, Zalez, Elios and Kyros, or outright bizarre names like Navy and The Cave. Some characters can simply br named after places.

* AerithAndBob: The AI will generate normal names such as Jacob, Ben, and Lucy, alongside fantasy ones like Ragnor, Zalez, and Kyros, or outright bizarre names like Navy and The Cave.
* AllJustADream: You can invoke this. Add a sentence like "You wake up from your dream, and you're back in your house." The AI runs with this, and you can re-rail the story back on track.

* FreemiumTimer: The new Energy Bar system has a cap on the number of actions a player can make. A subscription tier will get rid of it entirely on Griffin (and Dragon if at Platinum tier), but it will also slowly regenerate on its own and can be refilled with Scales.

* AerithAndBob: The AI will generate normal names such as Jacob, Ben, and Lucy, alongside fantasy ones like Ragnor, Zalez, and Kyros or outright bizarre names like Navy and The Cave.

''It's the last thing you hear before your mind goes silent. Whatever this is, it has taken over your body and mind. You can't escape it. You never will. It has total control. There is no fighting back. You can't do anything.''

* EvilLawyerJoke: The AI often associates lawyers as evil characters.

* PlayEveryDay: The game has daily bonuses like shards, profile pictures, and access to unlockable world.

* PurpleProse: "Aesthetic text" scenarios will make the AI write statements in incredibly flowery language.
