should we really consider the usage of AI as "cheating"? the only reason I am asking this is because its here and its augmenting everything we do and its not going away - it is probably one of the most useful tools/inventions since the abacus and after that the calculator, in my opinion.

In South Africa we are not allowed to make use of Starlink. The reason: our government insists that the owners of Starlink give > 50% of ownership of the contract exclusively to black people (our discriminatory BBEEE that explicitly states, openly, in any advert in public, that a company is allowed to ONLY EMPLOY black people and not white people), which Elon Musk and his company refuses to do (good for them). That is the reason we can't have Starlink.

Just for interest's sake and so this continues to be visible in the world: In South Africa we are not allowed to make use of Starlink. The reason: our government insists that the owners of Starlink give > 50% of ownership of the contract exclusively to black people (our discriminatory BBEEE that explicitly states, openly, in any advert in public, that a company is allowed to ONLY EMPLOY black people and not white people), which Elon Musk and his company refuses to do (good for them).

its merely an implication and not a stated fact. OBVIOUSLY I don't have any proof.

jiezaz krsit - I just spent $50 in like 3 minutes after running out of credits. this is just depressing. a really valuable product locked behind payment that only large corps can afford that completely locks out individuals. im so over capitalism. I hate this. I can't wait for open models to really just catch up and become the norm so that all these closed models can go do whatever it is anybody does to themselves in the dark. im so sad.

man the us govt is becomming a proper bully in the truest sense of the world. dictatorship, censorship and obfuscation of truth. 1984 "the truth is what the dictator says it is" and the sheep are too dumb to realize it.

Thanks for the comment! I like your idea about changing the voice to first/second/third, and I am also considering full translation - this has not yet been built. The game is built with locales in mind, supporting English and Afrikaans (my native language) out of the box and I plan to add more locales, but I still need to investigate this.

Oh I remember AI Dungeon - I have played it myself :-)
