(by ChatGPT) Here are a few example prompts that could lead to interesting responses: "Write a short story about a detective who solves crimes by talking to plants." "Imagine a world where time flows backward. Describe a day in the life of someone living in that world." "Compose a poem about the beauty of the night sky as seen from the perspective of an astronaut on the moon." "Create a fictional conversation between a philosopher from ancient Greece and a modern-day scientist about the nature of reality." "Design a magical creature that has never been seen before, and describe its unique abilities and habitat." Remember that "interesting" is subjective, and what one person finds interesting, another may not. |

From that point of view, the two examples that seemed the most promising where 4 (fictional conversation) and 2 (time flows backward), but the results I got were anything but novel: the fictional conversation hit the usual tropes, with nothing particularly related to ancient Greek philosophy or to modern science specifically, and for some reason the backwards time world still had meals ordered in breakfast/lunch/dinner sequence. Nice for essays from an elementary schooler (or an AI?), but nothing one would wish to pay attention to read.
On the other hand, at least the backwards time response reminded me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6rVHr6OwjI , which did meet my criteria for interesting when I first ran into it, so there's that...
(note that "Entropic Time" has multiple possible tangential successors, based on the various details in its interpretation. that's a sense in which it contrasts to the —to my perception— sterility of the AI responses)
Edit: I guess what I'm saying is that I found "Entropic Time" to be a strong move in a Hessian Glass Bead Game, but I guess at this point instead of quibbling about the weakness of the AI moves, I should be impressed that it plays at all.
