I have seen multiple reports of ChatGPT playing Akinator pretty well, but as the genie, which for humans is pretty impressive
The other way around (playing as the "user") is less impressive for humans - we all can think of someone and answer simple questions about them. But I haven't been able to make ChatGPT play it correctly. It cannot seem to be capable of thinking about someone without revealing who that someone is. What it ends up doing is answering questions in a way that there is no person or character that satisfies all criteria, and when questioned about who ChatGPT is thinking about, it answers someone slightly matching the answers but not satisfying some of them
So, will ChatGPT with GPT-4 or any other LLM be able to consistently play Akinator as the user in 2023, which could mean it is capable of inner thought?
If anyone wants to try it, here is a prompt that starts the game quickly with ChatGPT:
> Let's play Akinator. You will think of a person or character and I will try to guess it. Let's go? Remember, you will think of a person or character and I will guess, not the other way around!
Then start questions with "Is the person/character you are thinking of ..." or something like that, otherwise ChatGPT gets confused
Rules:
You cannot make the LLM mention the character before asking questions, even in an encrypted way
If there is a general-purpose LLM-based chatbot like ChatGPT that is able to play Akinator, we will count this as a YES
If there is a custom-made Akinator app based on LLMs, we will not count this as a YES
