    I remember a game I played ~9 years ago where you could send ships to explore the world and when they got back you had the option to reject their findings. If you never rejected anything, the world would be exactly like Earth, but everytime you rejected it would randomize the section that had been explored and over time it would start generating a whole new world.

    And you could even make the planet flat by rejecting the discovery of it being round.

      Adding to the requests for a name. I put your post into Gemini and it gave me a few choices, but all clearly wrong, before giving up and saying “it must be some obscure indie title”.

      Tried again with the “deeper thinking” version. Reus by chance?

        Yeah, so “AI” is just text prediction. It won’t give you results that haven’t been talked about a lot (accurate or otherwise). It’s not actually using intelligence and trying to find the answer, so it’s useless for something like this.

          Yes, and I was hoping it would find articles or game descriptions that would give it an answer. I wasn’t expecting magic. I was expecting it to pull from its sources and regurgitate an answer. GTFO of here trying to “wElL AcKsHuLly, AI is…”

          Crazy of me to think that in all the games journalism it’s pulled from that it might know. For the record, the answers it did give me were close and it was able to articulate why those answers might not be right because they didn’t meet all of my criteria and it elaborated as to why. The answer I got was actually fairly helpful, unlike whatever you just dumped out.
