Has anyone else tried this new addition puzzle game? [https://sumplete.com](https://sumplete.com) According to the website, “Sumplete was invented and coded entirely by AI (ChatGPT).” I’ve been enjoying it. It’s good for when I’m stuck on the phone on hold or in a Zoom. ---

Not an original game: > **[ChatGPT invented a puzzle game that already exists | Digital Trends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/sumplete-chatgpt-ai-game-design-ethics/?amp)** > > ChatGPT invented a hit puzzle game called Sumplete that could rival Wordle. There's just one problem: It already exists. ---

Lol! Still a fun game. ---

OK, that raises so many questions. First of all, the current version of ChatGPT was supposedly trained based only on data from 2019, so how did it plagiarize a game from 2020? Second, it supposedly doesn’t retain anything from any session in any other session, so how did it know what “Sumplete” was supposed to be when it re-created it? And don’t anyone bother to ask ChatGPT itself these questions; it’s unreliable at best at answering any question about itself. ---

Yeah I was curious about the mention that ChatGPT claimed to be able to access information from another session. It could be lying, but I’m curious was the facts are. ---

ChatGPT was trained on data to the end of 2021, not 2019. Other than that, it’s not connected to the net. Bing chat is, however. ---

Computer assisted plagiarism, complete with non-attribution. Nice. Well, at least it’s not making plausible-sounding but objectively wrong shit up from scatch in this case. ---

On some of the larger puzzles there are occasionally multiple solutions. I find that disappointing.
