The only issue is — it’s a game that already exists, but ChatGPT didn’t present it that way.
When ChatGPT user Daniel Tait asked the bot to create a game similar to Sudoku, they went back and forth for a while until it created a final product that it called Sumplete.
The idea is simple — the game presents you with a grid full of random numbers, with a number at the end of each row and column. To win you have to delete the correct numbers in the grid so that the remaining ones add up to the number at the end of each row and column. The larger the grid, the more challenging the task. And the Internet is loving it.
There’s a problem, though. It’s not that ChatGPT designed the game, it’s that the bot confidently told Tait that this was a completely new game that it had invented. This turned out not to be the case, as Sumplete is almost identical to Summer, an app that launched in 2020.
“My main concern is that ChatGPT confidently told me that it had invented a new game,” Tait told Digital Trends. “I would have much preferred an answer that this game was inspired by Summer or Rullo if that is truly how it came up with the idea. I also think ChatGPT should add some sort of explanation as to how it has generated a response, including data sources that helped train that particular answer.”
