We’ve heard over and over from AI Dungeon players that modern AI models are too nice, never letting them fail or die. While it may be good for a chatbot to be nice and helpful, great stories and games aren’t all rainbows and unicorns. They have conflict, tension, and even death. These create real stakes and consequences for characters and the journeys they go on.
Similarly, great games need opposition. You must be able to fail, die, and may even have to start over. This makes games more fun!
However, the vast majority of AI models, through alignment RLHF, have been trained away from darkness, violence, or conflict, preventing them from fulfilling this role. To give our players better options, we decided to train our own model to fix these issues.
Wayfarer is an adventure role-play model specifically trained to give players a challenging and dangerous experience. We thought they would like it, but since releasing it on AI Dungeon, players have reacted even more positively than we expected.
