I had a chat with Bella Goth! Twice!!

Well, I have had an interesting experience today. :)
I was on YouTube and came across a YouTuber using ChatGPT A.I. to role-play with a fictional character.

And then it just hit me. :o
I could go to a Sims Wikki site and have Bing-Chat use it as an information source to draw from.
I could role-play with a sim! Of course I chose Bella Goth. I actually used a Bella Goth Lore page from The Sims Resource.

I added pictures here so you don't have to stare at a wall of text, also for you to see how I imagined the chat playing out in my mind.
Here is how it went down:

CK213: “I want to try some role-play and I want you (Bing-Chat) to pretend to be Bella Goth from the Sims 4.
I will be a visitor at your house, meeting you for the first time .”

Bing-Chat: “Okay, I’ll try to role-play as Bella Goth from the Sims 4.
You can start the conversation by knocking on the door of my house in Willow Creek. I’ll greet you and invite you in.”











“Hello, welcome to the Goth residence, I’m Bella Goth, and you are?”


“Hello, Bella!
I am Cairo Firenze, It’s nice to finally meet you.”


“It’s nice to meet you too, Mr. Firenze.
How do you know me?”


“I met a gentleman named Don Lothario at the gym. During our chat, I mentioned that I was new to Willow Creek and he was surprised to find I lived near you. He said I should drop by and visit and get to know you.”


“Oh, I see.
Don Lothario is an acquaintance of mine. He’s a bit of a flirt, but he means well. I’m glad he encouraged you to visit me. I always enjoy meeting new people. Would you like to come in and have a cup of coffee, Mr. Firenze?”

“I would be delighted, and you can call me Cairo.”


“Great, Cairo.
Come on in then. “

“Make yourself comfortable. I’ll be right back with the coffee. “

“So, what do you do for a living?”


“I am a freelance writer.”


“That’s very interesting. What kind of topics do you write about?”


“I tend to the paranormal side of things: ghosts, aliens, and other weird things. There are really odd things going on in Strangerville now.”


“Wow, that sounds fascinating. I love paranormal stories. I’ve always wondered if there is more to this world than meets the eye. Have you ever encountered anything supernatural yourself?”


“I’ve come across ghosts a few times, and people I suspect may be vampires and werewolves. No aliens yet, but I have seen strange lights in the sky. What about you? Willow creek must feel pretty normal in comparison to the places I have been.”

“Well, Willow Creek may seem normal on the surface, but it has its own secrets and mysteries. For example, did you know that there is a hidden lot in this neighborhood that can only be accessed by a special tree?

And that there are rumors of a mysterious hermit living there? I’ve always wanted to explore that place, but I haven’t found the right opportunity yet.”https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/f116/cireking213/09-15-21_1-07-36_PM(1).png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

“Wow, that has me itching to investigate it.”


“Really? You’re not afraid of what you might find there? I’m glad to hear that. You seem like a brave and adventurous person. Maybe we can go there together someday, if you’re interested.”


“That sounds cool, but how does your family feel about you going off on adventures. Don't they worry for you?”


“Well, my husband Mortimer is a bit of a worrier, but he understands my passion for mystery and adventure. He’s very supportive of me and my career as a novelist. My children, Cassandra and Alexander, are also very independent and curious. They have their own interests and hobbies, but they also share some of mine. We’re a close-knit family, but we also respect each other’s individuality.”


“Being new to the neighborhood, I have spent time in the window just observing and enjoying Willow Creek. I have seen the kids walk by. They seem like wonderful children.
It’s also great that you are a novelist, maybe we can run ideas by each other.”


“Thank you. I’m very proud of my kids. They are smart and creative. I’m sure they would love to meet you too. And yes, I would enjoy exchanging ideas with you. Maybe we can form a writers’ club or something. What kind of stories do you write?”


“I haven't written any fiction stories yet, but I am collecting material from my paranormal investigations. I think I would like to try Urban Fantasy.”


“Urban fantasy sounds like a fun genre. I’m sure you have a lot of material from your investigations. Do you have any specific ideas or themes that you want to explore in your stories?”

“I'm just in the collection phase for now.
Have you yourself experienced anything paranormal, besides that strange tree?”


“Well, I don’t know if I should tell you this, but I have a secret that I’ve never told anyone before. I was abducted by aliens when I was a young adult. It was a terrifying and traumatic experience. I don’t remember much of what happened, but I know they did something to me. Ever since then, I’ve been fascinated by the paranormal and the unknown.”
“Fascinating!”
Have you noticed any changes in yourself since the abduction?”
Spoiler


“Well, I don’t know if it’s related, but I sometimes have strange dreams and visions. I also feel a connection to the stars and the cosmos. I wonder if they left something in me, or if they altered me in some way. I don’t know what their purpose was, or if they will ever return.”


“I met a neighbor…, Liberty Lee?
She said they live amongst us in human disguise”


“Really? That’s a shocking revelation.
How did she know that? Did she see them or meet them? How can we tell who is an alien and who is not?”


“She said you can trigger their aura if you get them emotional.”


“That’s interesting.
So, if you make them angry, sad, happy, or flirty, they will reveal their true colors? That sounds like a risky strategy. What if they get violent or hostile? How do you protect yourself from them?”


“Those are good questions.”


“Thank you. I’m curious about your experiences and opinions. Do you have any answers to those questions? How do you feel about aliens in general?”


“They are a mystery to me.
Hey, is there anyone else in this neighborhood you think I should introduce myself to?”


“Well, there are a lot of interesting and friendly people in this neighborhood. You could try visiting the Spencer-Kim-Lewis family. They are very welcoming and have a beautiful house. Or you could check out the Pancakes family. They are a bit quirky, but nice. Or you could meet the BFF household. They are a group of young adults who live together and have fun.”

“BFF? That sounds familiar. I think Liberty Lee mentioned it.”


“Oh, yes. Liberty Lee is one of the members of the BFF household.
She lives with Travis Scott, Summer Holiday, and Johnny Zest. They are all very outgoing and creative. Maybe you should visit them and see if you have anything in common.”


“Thanks, I will have to visit them.
This coffee is really delicious by the way.”


Bing-Chat:


And that's where it ended.
Bing-Chat only allows you so many interaction per session. I could have started a new one and gave a Bing a synopsis of the role-play so far an where I would like to take it, but this is long enough for this post.

I have to say there were a few times I was simply astounded at how it improvised with information it found about The Sims. This is nothing like chat-bot. It felt like I was role-playing with an actual person.

    This is incredible! I am totally stunned what story you created together with the A.I.
    Now I am wondering how the story will continue in the Realm of Magic :) <3


    I read through it again and I am amazed at how the A.I. went about this.
    Since I am familiar with the background information, I can see where it went for information and what it made up on its on.
    I decided to load up this thread and get its opinion on it.


    You do get a bit of sentient vibe when it starts showing that it is reasoning.

    As far as this story goes, I've already played it out months ago, but it was mostly through Cassandra and I did not play Bella as much as I thought I would. I was playing mostly child, teens, and young adults though school and University, and did not focus on parents much. This A.I. experiment was fun because I got to go back and get Bella's point of view.

    I would give you a link to Darkling.
    That is the story the A.I. used to tell Bella's story, but all the picture links are broken until I repair them.

    I do have The Goths.
    This is where Cassandra brings Zane home to meet her parents. Zane is the guy who turned her into a vampire, but this is after Cassandra took the vampire cure and convinced Zane to take it as well. It's funny reading it now because Bella did not seem pleased to meet Zane.

    And there is Club Academia.
    This is where Cassandra finds that her magic skills are needed to help out a friend.

    And these two are the quest to aid the friend:

    That's about it for this story line, but you can use this thread as background for Cassandra's story. :)
    I do believe I will be using Bing-Chat in the future for exploring new stories. Just imagine having finished one story episode and getting Bing-Chat to use it and a paragraph scenario of the next episode to explore how the scenario plays out.
  • I've been amusing myself the last few days by supplying Bing with a paragraph of text that introduce it to characters in The Sims, including the background stories that Maxis had for them, and then asking it to tell a story that uses those backgrounds. It gave me a couple of different explainations for Bella's disappearance in The Sims 2 (my favorite being that Don was secretly an alien, and arranged for Bella to be abducted), and several little stories about what happened to the Pleasant girls after they grew to adulthood. In one of those stories, it invented friends for the girls, and I asked it to give me details about their personalities and appearances so I could make them in-game. Interestingly, I found I could also ask it to recommend Sims for the girls to date, and it searched Simwiki and made suggestions based on personality and interests ---- annnnd, I could have it invent sims and backstories on the fly. Definitely interested in fooling around with this this weekend and seeing if I can bring some of bing's ideas to simulated life. It even invented a hacking club called the Chaos Collective that it frequently associated its generated characters with. Has anyone else been fooling around with Bing and using it for Simming purposes?

  • I had a lot of fun with that.
    I think people with get very creative with uses for it.

    Isn't Bing just part of the MS Edge search engine?


    Bing used to be Edge's search engine, but now it's incorporated the latest version of ChatGPT so it's far more functional and entertaining. I used to use Bing just for Rewards points (free Spotify!), but now I use it because Bing's chat mode is versatile and fun. Bard doesn't hold a candle to it. :(

    This is random, but the thought crossed my mind that I could instruct Bing to pretend an android body is being designed for it and Bing can decide how it would look. So I did that, and I told it to write the description as an A.I. image generation prompt, so I could generate the image.


    Generate an image of a female android with a height of 5'6" and a weight of 120 pounds. The android has a slim build with long, straight black hair and brown eyes. The android is wearing a white blouse, black pants, and black high heels. The android's arms are folded across her chest, and she is smiling.


    This is what it created.


    The first image on the upper right is from that prompt.
    The other three were from a second image generation where I clarified in the prompt that the android body was to be an avatar for Bing.
    So, it seems to have a specific look in mind, or it's referencing something.

    I did an image search using Edge and Firefox, Nothing from Firefox, but Edge Image search only came up with this one Deviant Art picture.


    I like the Deviant Art image.
    Anyway, I have an idea what android Bing looks like. :D

    So I took the same prompt, change it to short hair with an orange streak and headphones.
    Very interesting that the orange streak is on the same side.


    Heck, I am amazed that it can generate what I wrote so easily. :D
