Hunger Games Simulation
I prompted ChatGPT to simulate a round of hunger games. I’ll be adding awesome commentary for the simulation as I read it. Here are the descriptions I wrote for the people in this round.
Merlyn - 6 foot 3 and swims fast. He is also wearing a shirt.
Allan Joe George - Allan has great genetics. Has a large supply of chicken curry.
Li Feng - Highly skilled in programming with React. Also has allergies.
Daniel Zhang - Has some really long fingers and is highly skilled at piano.
Gary (me) - Benches 225lbs and has the dragon sword unlocked.
Matthew Yu - High emotional quotient (he has claimed). Cannot bench 225lbs, but can do a muscle up.
Aarya - Very very strong lungs, and can play Tequila on the trombone.
Theodore Dickerson - Has a fan club.
Here is the story ChatGPT gave back:
Merlyn, a skilled swimmer standing at 6 foot 3, wasted no time and dove into a nearby river, avoiding the initial bloodbath. Allan Joe George, known for his genetics, grabbed a backpack filled with chicken curry and retreated to a safe distance. Li Feng, a React programming expert, managed to grab a first-aid kit and some tech-related supplies but struggled due to his allergies. Daniel Zhang, with his long fingers and piano skills, swiftly acquired a dagger before making his escape. Gary, armed with the formidable dragon sword, intimidated other tributes and secured a stash of supplies.
It seems Allan is in the lead already. He’s secured chicken curry, a rare commodity in the world of hunger games. Also I bet the ending is going to be Li Feng building some big robot to kill everybody with his React programming skills.
Meanwhile, Matthew Yu, unable to bench 225lbs but possessing emotional intelligence, grabbed some food and used his charm to navigate the chaos. Aarya, with his powerful lungs and trombone skills, disoriented nearby tributes with a blast and secured a backpack. Theodore Dickerson, with his dedicated fan club, managed to grab a spear but also suffered a wound during the chaos.
How did Theodore get wounded? ChatGPT won’t provide an explanation. I never would’ve expected that, especially when he has his dedicated fan club. As for Aarya, I don’t think that’s how trombones work.
In the early days of the Hunger Games, the tributes scattered throughout the arena, desperately seeking water, shelter, and food. Merlyn thrived in the water, utilizing his swimming skills to navigate and find fresh water sources. Allan Joe George continued to feast on his chicken curry supply, keeping himself well-fed but drawing attention due to the tempting aroma. Li Feng, using his tech supplies, built a hidden shelter and tried to find a way to signal for help. Daniel Zhang explored the terrain, using his piano skills to detect potential threats or allies. Gary, armed with the dragon sword, patrolled the Cornucopia area, hunting down anyone who approached.
Oh boy, Daniel seems to have utilized echolocation using his piano skills and long fingers. Also, Merlyn has done nothing productive this whole time. Quit swimming around and do something, man.
Matthew Yu's emotional intelligence played a crucial role as he formed alliances with Li Feng and Aarya, ensuring their mutual survival. Aarya used his trombone skills to communicate with his allies and potentially scare off other tributes. Theodore Dickerson's fan club remained devoted, providing him with some protection but struggling to secure additional supplies.
That three-team is looking too overpowered. Currently I’m rooting for Li Feng to win by backstabbing Matthew and Aarya. Theodore’s fan club seems to be slacking.
As the game progressed, alliances formed and conflicts arose. Merlyn, feeling vulnerable on land, allied with Matthew Yu, Li Feng, and Aarya for protection. Allan Joe George's dwindling curry supply made him desperate and a target for other tributes. Daniel Zhang's piano skills helped him negotiate a truce with Gary, avoiding a potentially deadly confrontation. Gary, though formidable with the dragon sword, faced resistance from Merlyn's alliance and struggled to eliminate them. Li Feng's allergies became a hindrance, and he relied on Matthew Yu's emotional support.
Woah this paragraph is action packed. Matthew’s alliance now contains four members, Daniel convinced me to truce with some sick piano playing, and Li Feng is reliant on Matthew’s emotional support. And Matthew’s alliance is labeled as “Merlyn’s alliance” by ChatGPT when I attempted to kill them. It seems the power has shifted.
In a final confrontation, Merlyn's alliance managed to outwit and overpower Gary, securing their place in the final moments of the Hunger Games. As the game drew to a close, the last four tributes faced off, testing their skills and alliances in a final battle for survival.
I died. The last four contestants are Merlyn, Matthew, Li Feng, and Aarya. I think ChatGPT forgot about a few contestants, and just removed them silently. Like where’s Daniel?
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the Hunger Games arena, the final four tributes stood locked in a tense standoff. Merlyn, Matthew Yu, Li Feng, and Aarya, once allies brought together by circumstance, now found themselves on the precipice of destiny.
I am trembling in my custom made seal leather boots.
Without warning, Merlyn, seizing a moment of opportunity, lunged at Aarya, his immense strength and speed giving him the upper hand. Aarya, despite his skills, couldn't defend himself against the powerful assault and was incapacitated.
I’m sure in real life Aarya would’ve just played his trombone really loud and killed Merlyn.
With Aarya out of the picture, Merlyn turned his attention to Matthew Yu and Li Feng, who knew they had to act fast. In a desperate move, Li Feng activated his gadget, creating a blinding flash of light that disoriented Merlyn momentarily. Matthew Yu seized the opportunity and, with a sharp piece of debris, struck Merlyn, causing a grievous wound.
I knew Li Feng’s React programming skills would come in handy!
Matthew Yu, aware of his inability to bench 225lbs and his need to rely on his strategic thinking, darted around the battlefield. He sought cover behind a cluster of rocks, carefully observing the situation. Li Feng Yin, determined and focused, followed suit and activated his React programming skills to create a holographic decoy of himself, mimicking his every movement.
Great idea, Matthew!
The holographic decoy of Li Feng Yin danced around the battlefield, diverting Matthew’s attention. The giant tribute swung his weapon at the illusory image, leaving him vulnerable to the real Li Feng Yin's calculated assault. In a well-timed and precise strike, Li Feng Yin unleashed the power of his gadget, sending a surge of electricity through Matthew. The towering tribute fell to the ground, incapacitated by the electrical shock.
This seemed like quite a one-sided battle.
Li Feng Yin stood there, triumphant and focused, as the sole survivor. He knew that he had emerged victorious through strategy, cunning, and the clever use of his React programming skills.
I’ll make sure to nerf Li Feng Yin next time. That was brutal.



Where did Daniel and Allan and Theodore Dickerson end up after the confrontation with "Merlyn's alliance"? Were they all destroyed by the mysterious Gary fella and his "dragon sword" or did Allan run out of his supply of curry. It seems like ChatGPT decided that their deaths were simply not important enough to include the the final telling of the story. Did they survive or not?
This was the upset of the century. ChatGPT heavily underestimates the power of the trombone. 😠
