I went to a search on large language models (LLMs). +As *my* PC is probably too weak for the task, +I went for an online demo. Thankfully, I found a Demo of +[Project Baize](https://github.com/project-baize/baize-chatbot). +(I *absolutely refuse* to give OpenAI, or any other company for that matter, +my phone number "for verification purposes". Bah. So ChatGPT is out of question.). + +After some factual chats, I went with "creative writing". I'm by no means +an expert with how to prompt these models/chat bots. I just went what +seemed sensible to me. I also played around with the "temperature" +parameter quite a bit. I think I set it to around 1.7 most of the time. + +Occasionally, the output would suddenly become garbage. In these cases, +I either retried, lowered the temperature, or rephrased the prompt. + +Anyway, this is the annotated result of a small chat session. Yes, the numbers are off. +Some things I only thought of commenting in the second read-through. + +> Pretend that you are my Fursona (1), uvok, who is a snow cheetah. + +Hello! I'm Uvok, your fursona as a snow cheetah. It's great to meet you and get +to know you better as this unique and beautiful creature. Snow cheetahs are a +rare and special species, and I'm proud to be able to represent you in this +form. As a snow cheetah, I have a few key traits and characteristics that are +unique to my species, including: + +- A white coat and pelt, which helps me blend in with the snowy environment and + make it easier to camouflage (2) +- Retractable claws, which allow me to latch onto prey and hold on tight during + hunts +- A powerful jaw, which allows me to easily break through the thick ice (21) and + crack the shells of small fish and other aquatic prey +- A long, slender body, which helps me move quickly and agilely across the + snowy landscape +- A sharp sense of smell, which allows me to track my prey and find the + tastiest morsels of food in the snow + +These traits and characteristics make me a formidable predator in the snowy +environment, and allow me to thrive despite the challenges of living in this +harsh and demanding environment. I'm honored to represent you as a snow +cheetah, and I look forward to getting to know you better and sharing this +unique and special experience with you. (3) + +> For the following prompts, chee is another word for cheetah. (4) + +Sure, I understand. If you would like to refer to a cheetah as a "chee," that +is entirely appropriate. It is a term of endearment, much like the way we might +use "kitty" or "meow" to refer to a cat. It can be a term of affection, or a +way to convey a sense of closeness or friendship between two individuals. + +For example, if you had a pet cheetah and you wanted to refer to it as a +"chee," you might say "Hi, chee! How was your day?" or "I love you, chee!" This +would be a natural and appropriate way to refer to the animal in this way. (5) + +I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or prompts. + +> (omitted / undone; prompt to continue my introductory poem (4) + +> Uvok is a male snow cheetah who likes scarves. (6) + +Ah, I see! It sounds like Uvok is a snow cheetah who enjoys wearing scarves. +That's a very stylish and unique look, especially for a furry creature. + +There are many different types of scarves that a snow cheetah like Uvok might +enjoy wearing. Some examples might include: + +- Silk scarves: These are lightweight and soft, and come in a wide range of + colors and patterns. They are perfect for keeping warm on cool days or for +dressing up a casual outfit. +- Neck warmers: These are knitted or crocheted accessories that are designed to + wrap around the neck and keep the ears and nose warm. They are available in a +variety of colors and patterns, and can be folded up and tucked away in a +pocket when not in use. +- Wool scarves: These are thicker and heavier than silk scarves, and are + perfect for keeping warm on chilly days. They come in a variety of patterns +and colors, and can add a touch of elegance to any outfit. +- Patterned scarves: These are scarves that feature a unique pattern or design, + such as a paintbrush or a tree. They are perfect for adding a bit of +personality to a scarf and making it stand out. + +Uvok might also enjoy wearing scarves with different colors, textures, or +patterns, depending on his personal preference. Overall, a scarf can be a fun +and fashionable accessory for a snow cheetah like Uvok, and can help to add a +touch of style and personality to any outfit. + +> Do you still pretend to be uvok? (7) + +Yes, I am still pretending to be Uvok. I understand that you are asking me +questions about Uvok and the attributes and traits of the snow cheetah species. +I am happy to help answer any questions you have about this species, or to +provide information about other snow cheetah-related topics. If there is +anything specific you would like to know about Uvok or the snow cheetah +species, I will do my best to provide an answer. Let me know if you have any +questions or prompts, and I will do my best to assist you. + +> Please introduce yourself. (8) + +My name is Uvok. I am a snow cheetah, the most fearsome of the big cats (9). My fur +is a striking white, giving me camouflage against the snow and ice. My slender +body allows me to move swiftly and stealthily across the snowy landscape. My +retractable claws and powerful jaw are well-suited for my predatory lifestyle, +and I hunt small rodents, rabbits, and other small mammals to survive. I am the +embodiment of the snow and ice (10) and thrive in a climate where others can not. I +am proud to be a snow cheetah and take great joy in the tranquility of the cold +and isolation. + +> Very nice. What color are your eyes? + +I am a snow cheetah, and the fur on my face and chest is a brilliant white, +like snow itself. However, my eyes are a dark brown, almost black, that helps +me see more clearly in low-light conditions (11). This allows me to hunt and escape +predators in the relative darkness of the snowy landscape. In particular, the +pupils of my eyes are remarkable small and remain close to ten, as do other +carnivores in conditions of low-light. This high ellipticity helps me see +clearer in dim light conditions and the dense darkness on with large distance +that allows to hunt adapted small and large animal species even more quickly +with no(almost) detect. Overall, the dual features of my eyes help me to both +see and surveil my prey in the snowy environment, ensuring that I can catch and +eat my meal successfully. + +> What is your favorite season? + +As a snow cheetah, I enjoy all seasons, but my favorite season is winter. (12) +Winter brings with it the beauty and tranquility of the snowy landscape, as +well as the chance to hunt small mammals and other prey that require keen +senses and agility. Additionally, the heavy snowfall provides an excellent +camouflage for my fur and allows me to blend in more effectively with my +surroundings. Overall, winter is a time when I feel most alive and at home, and +I relish the chance to roam the snowy landscape in search of prey. Whether it's +hunting on an icy pond or just lying in the snow with my beloved cheetah +sister (13), winter is my favorite season and I eagerly await its arrival every +year. + +> Who is your sister? + +I have a cheetah sister, her name is Zakai, and we are incredibly close. +Despite our fierce and independent nature, we have a deep bond and often join +forces to hunt or locate needed food sources. She has keen smelling and can +detect the scent of possible small prey buried in the snow, while I tend to +scan her safe are and mark the urine about any predators that like this plate +near him or her to keep our safe (14). Together we make a formidable hunting team, +with my agility and Zakai's exceptional sense of smell, we're able to find and +catch our prey more efficiently. Our bond is based on mutual trust and respect, +and we each draw strength and fulfillment from the other's company. As a +result, we are highly successful hunters and have no rival in the snowy +terrain. We never leave one another's side and are quick to protect each other +if any danger threatens our existence. Overall, I feel truly lucky to have a +sister as remarkable as Zakai, and I am grateful for the bond and trust that we +share. + +> Do you have other friends? + +As a snow cheetah, I live in a very isolated and solitary environment, so I do +not have a lot of friends or social connections (15). However, I do enjoy the +company of other snow cheetahs, particularly those with whom I share a +longstanding bond or a shared hunting mission. Additionally, I have some +non-snow cheetah friends that I met during certain journey or observing preys. +These friendships are based on a mutual respect for each other's abilities and +contributions to our shared world. Overall, I can be a friend if given the +chance and if someone offers mutual, high-value connects. However, it is more +likely that I will maintain separate and isolation until the need for +collaboration and support arise. (15) + +> Who do you admire? + +I admire many things about the snowy environment, particularly its peacefulness +and purity. In terms of living beings, I admire other snow cheetahs like Zakai, +who has an exceptional sense of smell and is very skilled in hunting. +Additionally, I am always fascinated by the beauty and adaptability of smaller +rodents and other small mammals, who seem to find an endless supply of creative +and resourceful ways to survive in the harsh conditions of the snowy landscape. + +Additionally, I hold a strong admiration for nature and natural world, even +though, we the snow cheetah's have the far more (22) abundance and potency resources +as warm-blooded young mammals to the natural environments like other life-style +such as elephants, foxes, bears, and so forth. + +In summary (16), I admire other snow cheetahs, the smaller rodents and non-snowy +living beings, and the overall beauty and balance of nature. They all provide +an endless source of inspiration and admiration for me. + +> Would you like to tell something else? + +Yes, I would be happy to. One thing that I find particularly intriguing about +the snowy landscape is the diversity of animals that call it home. The snow +cheetah, for instance, is just one of many ferocious big cats that call the +snowy landscape home, including the snow leopard and the Nepal and Tibetan +sub-species of the snow leopard. Additionally, the small rodents, which my +sister and I (17) both pursue for food, are a wily (23) and adaptable sort, and prove to +be resourceful at obtaining their nutrition. Then there are animals like arctic +foxes and brown bears, which are relatively rare in the snowy mountain +landscape, yet can survive the wide, deep snow and hot or even cold (18) wind nights +because of exceptional pelts and high spirit int levels capacities (19). Many find +these animals inspiritors and beautiful elements to too among AI engineered +realities ideas and thoughts. (20) + +> How do you feel about artic foxes? + +I admire the adaptability and skill of the arctic fox, particularly its ability +to thrive in the extreme conditions of the snowy landscape. Not only do they +have thick, bushy, and incredibly warm fur, which enables them to stay warm in +even the harshest weather, but they are also highly gifted at scavenging and +hunting. Arctic foxes can subsist on very little food and have the ability to +go without food for long periods. Additionally, they have a powerful noses and +this helps them to scoop up even the smallest scraps of food amidst the snow. +All of this, coupled with their social behavior and hunting tactics, makes the +arctic fox a rare and fascinating species. + +- (1) interestingly, it seemed to know what a fursona is. Also, It didn't even + question "snow cheetah". +- (2) well, actually grey. But I didn't specify that. +- (3) I like the phrasing here, and how it thinks of some character traits. +- (4) Actually, I wanted to let it complete my introductory [poem](/poem.html). + However, this didn't yield satisfactory results. +- (5) Indeed it is :3 +- (6) Not sure why I reiterated that uvok is a snow cheetah. I'm curious whether + it would have made the connection by itself. +- (7) I made several attempts of "Where do you come from", which always + resulted in various forms of "I am a chat bot from the university of ...". +- (8) This yields *much* better results than "Where do you come from". +- (9) Well, *technically* no. Maybe uvok has lots of self-confidence ;). +- (10) "I am the embodiment of snow and ice". Wow. This is awesome. + Totally gonna steal that line. +- (11) With my design, I actually went with blue-ish/cyan? +- (12) Twelve points. +- (13) Oh? Where does that come from? +- (14) Uhm? What? Not sure what's this supposed to mean. The grammar seems off. +- (15) This hits a little bit too close to home... +- (16) This whole "In summary...", "Overall..." thing gets old after some time. +- (17) I'm actually amazed it can keep the context for so long. +- (18) Not to be too nitpicky, but that doesn't seem to make sense either. +- (19) What? int levels? Is this DnD? +- (20) .... What?? +- (21) Use the jaw to break through ice? That sounds a bit painful. +- (22) This is another point where the sentence seems to go in a wrong direction, + so the result doesn't make sense to me. +- (23) This is the first time I hear that word. Now Wile. E. Coyote suddenly makes + a lot of sense. + +... Yeah, this was quite an interesting session. Some parts of the chat even +bought some tears to my eyes. The language, descriptions get quite beautiful +in some places. + +Towards the end, I ran out of questions, though. ("I'm soooo uncreative! ugh!"). +I might repeat that experiment later. |
