The cheap solution of giving the AI a map was very disappointing. You turned this game from "find MacGuffin" to "just chat with me for a bit, here's a map".

Also I think you forgot to decide where MacGuffin is beforehand which led you to just give away the solution for free in the end because there was no way to find MacGuffin since he's not really anywhere.

If anything this confirmed my skepticism about "AI".

Yeah, it was a cheap solution, because I wanted to finish the game early.

Playing the game to completion was not the point. The point was to test GPT-4's ability to create multi-step plans and adjust them based on new information. I fast-tracked to the ending once I believed that goal was achieved.

And yeah, of course I didn't know where the MacGuffin is beforehand. There was no map, I was inventing the whole thing on the fly - but the AI didn't know that. I didn't want to precommit to a puzzle, but rather have some flexibility to throw GPT-4 a curve-ball or two, and see how it adjusts its plan.
