         | gracefully yet.

       | an hourglass and a gun.

       | Edit: looks like some kind of emoji detection feature? I don't
       | understand why when you can just serve an open source emoji font,
       | but I suppose at least it's not tracking this time.

       | This is incredibly fun. Very fun and addictive, and brings the
       | fun part of a 2-player game to a single-player experience. This
       | is a brilliant way to use the LLM.
       | 
       | Wish list: It would be super cool if we could use the emoji skin
       | colors.

         | Thanks a lot!
         | 
         | I disabled skin tones since they're encoded in an odd way, but
         | it's on my future feature list to re-add them if people are
         | enjoying it enough.

       | I wanted to put this bug report in its own thread so it wouldn't
       | distract from my main comment: oddly it told me on my first round
       | today that "Black Panther" wasn't the right guess for "Black
       | Panther." I had used the prompt   and it said: "Black Panther "
       | 
       | I tried a slightly different variation and it guessed BP again
       | and was accepted.

         | Thank you! Sadly I removed the thumbs up/down emojis and okay

         | That's right, they're not available.
         | 
         | From testing as I developed this, I noticed that certain emojis
         | often lead to complaints from GPT 3.5 about how the
         | combinations were too generic. After some really basic testing
         | I ended up removing the 3 worst offenders from the emoji
         | picker: ['+1','-1','okay_hand'].
        
           | bil7 wrote:

       | Is chatgpt given a list of films to guess from beforehand, or

         | I asked ChatGPT for lists of movies and TV shows that it knows

           | I think you misunderstood the question. When it is guessing,
           | is it guessing "which of these 50 movies is represented by
           | these 3 emojis" or something, or is it free to guess any
           | movie?
        
             | sunnyba wrote:
             | It's free to guess any movie -- the prompt is like "guess

             | all.
             | 
             | It'll guess some crazy obscure stuff once in a while!

         | When I soft launched it 3 weeks ago I was doing TV shows, but

           | I got all three.
           | 
           | Inception was slightly smiling face, the zZZ emoji, and
           | upside down face.
           | 
           | Gladiator was Italian flag, classical building, swords
           | 
           | Superbad was clinking beer mugs, no one under 18 symbol, and
           | ID button

           | 
           | If this game goes on for a full year though, I imagine it's

           | really unique.

         | I ended up trying to funnel people towards the emoji picker so
         | that I could: 1) prevent unknown emojis outside the training
         | window of GPT 3.5. As an example, ChatGPT said that this one
         | was a box of falafel.
         | 
         | 2) exclude certain emojis that had a high likelihood of leading
         | to GPT refusing to guess (it would claim were too generic).
