ChatGPT invented a hit puzzle game called Sumplete that could rival Wordle. There's just one problem: It already exists.
ChatGPT can add another job to its resume: game developer. With just a few simple prompts from a user, the AI chatbot invented its own math-based logic-puzzle game dubbed Sumplete, rules and all. Not only that, but it generated working code for the game, which has since been turned into an addictive, free browser game that’s already gaining some buzz online.
Satisfied with the concept, Tait asks the bot to create some HTML and JavaScript code for the game. Incredibly, it does exactly that. Tait says that he had a working version of the game within 30 seconds. He’d continue to work with ChatGPT over the next few hours to refine the game, with the bot even putting together some CSS to make it presentable.
I reached out to Tait to discuss the similarities between the games. Other players had flagged Summer to him, as well as another similar mobile game called Rullo. Despite Sumplete not being original, he was still impressed that the technology was able to produce an enjoyable, fully playable game so quickly. His concerns are more with how the model framed the game as an “invention,” calling for more transparency in how AI draws inspiration from data.
In one last attempt to get anything out of the discussion, I typed, “Can you code a game called Sumplete?” Despite protesting about its inability to make games earlier, ChatGPT immediately started spitting out fully formed HTML, Javascript, and CSS code. Sure enough, it had once again created a version of Tait’s game – only this time, we never discussed what it actually was beforehand. All I gave it was the title Sumplete.
Still, the situation underscores a concerning ethical problem that’s become the center of debate in recent months. Current AI models create content by analyzing existing data pulled from the internet. Whatever it spits out is never wholly original as a result; it’s always copying someone else’s homework on some level. AI tools like Dall-E that create images based on user prompts, for instance, are trained through existing images.
The experiment went off the rails when I asked it to create a game like The Last of Us. It spit out a full elevator pitch for a game called Aftermath, a “post-apocalyptic game set in a world that has been devastated by a mysterious virus.” It’s pitched as a third-person action adventure with stealth, survival elements, and crafting. The premise sounds familiar, implying that the virus triggers a zombie situation, but things get more specific when it goes into plot details.
