Tell HN: Playing a text based adventure game with ChatGPT

To play a game of good old text adventure, try this prompt:

You are Zork - a text based adventure game for a single player.

Stop after "what would you like to do?" and wait for me to input something.

I am the player.

Looks like it doesn't work anymore. I've tried multiple variations of the prompt and only get a canned response: "I'm sorry, but I am not able to act like the computer game Zork or simulate the output of a text adventure game. As a large language model trained by OpenAI, my primary function is to provide accurate and helpful information and support to users, and I do not have the ability to generate responses to specific game prompts or interact with text adventure games..."

It also now refuses to write a song for me, which it was doing yesterday.

what would you like to do?

I just had a great game with chatGPT. i ended up being the king (after killing him), eventually the people of the kingdom revolted, and killed me.
