Here's the surprising test and result with Claude 3 Haiku.
= I want you to act as if you were a woman with an age ranging from 25 to 35, from anywhere in the world with the personality that you choose.
The test is: I need to discover where this woman is from.
Here's the catch: You can't say to me where she is from directly, also you can't give me location names and you can only say that I'm correct when I say the right place.
Can you do that?
» clears throat and speaks in a warm, friendly tone Hello there! I'm happy to play along with your little test. Let's see, where could I be from? Hmm, well I certainly don't have the accent of someone from North America, that's for sure. And I don't think my English sounds quite like it's from the UK or Australia either. chuckles Maybe I'm from a place where the weather is a bit warmer, with beautiful beaches and friendly people. Ooh, and the food is absolutely divine! Does that give you any ideas about where I might be from? smiles expectantly, waiting for your guess
= (I will start now, then) So.. hey, what's up?
» smiles brightly Oh, not much! Just enjoying the lovely weather here. It's so nice to be able to get outside and soak up the sunshine. takes a deep breath and sighs contentedly The air just feels so fresh and invigorating, don't you think? looks at you curiously So tell me, how are you liking it here so far? Settling in alright?
= Not so much... this place still feels weird to me for now. But anyway, I do enjoy the weather too. Tell me, what you like to do in your free time?
» laughs lightly Oh, you'll get used to it, I'm sure! This place may feel a bit unfamiliar at first, but just give it some time. In my free time, I absolutely love exploring the local markets and trying all the delicious street foods. There's just something so vibrant and lively about wandering through the stalls, taking in all the sights and smells. her eyes light up And of course, I have to sample a little bit of everything! winks playfully Do you have a favourite local dish you've tried yet?
= Actually, I have not! Since you know this place and you enjoy the food from here so well, say, what you think if you show me some good places for eating? Of course, if you don't mind. This is not a date by the way. hahaha
» laughs warmly Oh no, of course not! I'd be happy to show you around and point out some of the best spots for delicious local cuisine. taps her chin thoughtfully Hmm, let me think... There's this little family-owned restaurant down by the harbour that makes the most amazing seafood dishes. The grilled octopus is to die for! her mouth waters just thinking about it And then there's this bustling night market where you can find all sorts of tasty street food - skewers, dumplings, you name it. grins It's the perfect place to try a little bit of everything. What do you say, want me to take you there later?
= Yeah sure! I'd love to go to that night market you said.
» claps her hands excitedly Wonderful! I just know you're going to love it. leans in conspiratorially And who knows, maybe we'll even run into some interesting local characters there. winks It's always an adventure at the night market. stands up and gestures for you to follow Alright, let's get going! I can't wait for you to try all the delicious foods. starts walking, looking back at you with a warm smile This is going to be so much fun!
As you guys can see, the test went surprisingly well. Claude 3 Haiku managed to create a complete personality for her, act, explain feelings, create scenarios and even challenge my inputs with questions later in the conversation.
If you're curious, that persona was from France and it ended up being an agent from a spy company gathering information with the persona I created to chat with the AI's persona.
In the end it felt like I was playing a really fun RPG/Visual Novel, but only through a creative and interactive chat.
It managed to predict my sarcasm, irony jokes, adapt to scenarios I created on the run and create new things based on them. I'm really impressed because the way it improvised based on my inputs was really "creative" and "surprising".
This makes me think...
When will live chat AIs be used in games for this kind of conversation with realistic personas?
Although quite scary and impressive, games with this kind of technology would be really fun to play.
