entomophobiac skämtade om att jag fick be ChatGPT skriva ett mordutredningsscenario (i väntan på Onda Människor-scenariot)

... men jag tyckte det var intressant att testa.. så jag frågade ChatGPT, och här kommer...

Highway of Shadows

Background:
You are seasoned FBI agents investigating a chilling series of murders. Young women have been disappearing near a desolate highway, and their bodies are turning up in remote locations. The public is in a panic, and pressure is mounting to catch the serial killer before another victim falls prey.

Characters:
- Special Agent Rachel Foster
- Special Agent Mark Harris
- Suspect 1: David Mitchell (Truck driver with a suspicious record)
- Suspect 2: Sarah Turner (Local mechanic with a dark secret)
- Suspect 3: James Reynolds (Mysterious loner known to frequent the area)

Abduction and Dump Sites
1. Emily Sanchez's Abduction Site:
- The abduction site was located near a dilapidated gas station along the highway, hidden among tall, overgrown weeds.
- Tire tracks led to a secluded spot where Emily was likely abducted.
- Nearby, you found a discarded scarf, stained with her blood, hinting at a struggle.

Emily's Dump Site:
- Emily's body was discovered in a shallow grave near a tranquil riverbank.
- The makeshift grave was hidden under a cluster of willow trees, with the sound of flowing water masking any potential cries for help.

2. Megan Porter's Abduction Site:
- Megan was last seen at a roadside diner known for its vintage charm.
- Surveillance footage showed her leaving with a man matching David Mitchell's description.
- Tire tracks indicated a hasty exit from the parking lot.

Megan's Dump Site:
- Her body was found in a remote cave deep within a rocky hillside.
- The cave entrance was concealed by thick vines and boulders, making it almost impossible to stumble upon by chance.

3. Lily Anderson's Abduction Site:
- Lily's last known location was at a remote bus stop on the highway, where she often waited for a ride.
- Witnesses recalled seeing a man resembling James Reynolds loitering nearby, watching her.

Lily's Dump Site:
- Her body was discovered deep in the forest, covered by a blanket of fallen leaves and hidden within a thicket of brambles.
- The remote location made it challenging for search teams to locate her remains.

Modus Operandi

- The killer targets young women who are traveling alone near the highway, offering them assistance with their vehicles.
- The victims are abducted and taken to a secluded campsite in the woods.
- The killer keeps them alive for several days, tormenting them mentally and physically.
- Eventually, the victims are strangled and their bodies are dumped in different locations.

As you delve deeper into this chilling case, the unique characteristics of the victims and the eerie details of the abduction and dump sites only intensify the urgency to apprehend the serial killer responsible for these heinous crimes.

Scene 1: The Abduction Site

You begin your investigation near the highway where the victims were last seen. The area is isolated, and tire tracks suggest a large vehicle was involved. Gruesome clues emerge: a partially buried pendant belonging to Emily Sanchez and a chilling note written in blood, "The highway claims more."

Victim Descriptions:
1. Emily Sanchez, 24, a college student:
- Emily had long, wavy chestnut brown hair that cascaded down to her shoulders.
- She stood at 5'7" with a slender build and striking green eyes.
- On the night of her disappearance, she was wearing a blue sundress with a floral pattern.

2. Megan Porter, 22, an aspiring artist:
- Megan had a distinctive tattoo of a vibrant red rose on her left wrist, a symbol of her passion for art.
- She was 5'6" tall, had short, pixie-cut auburn hair, and expressive hazel eyes.
- Megan's style was eclectic, often seen in vintage clothing and colorful accessories.

3. Lily Anderson, 20, a waitress at a local diner:
- Lily had auburn hair that fell in loose waves around her shoulders, complementing her fair complexion.
- She was 5'4" and had a petite frame, with a small but noticeable scar on her right cheek.
- Lily was last seen wearing her work uniform, a classic diner waitress outfit, with a nametag pinned to her chest.

Abduction Reports:
- Emily's abduction report indicates a struggle near the gas station. Witnesses recall hearing a woman's scream and seeing a truck speeding away.
- Megan's abduction report from the diner's surveillance footage shows her leaving with a man resembling David Mitchell. The timestamp coincides with her disappearance.
- Lily's report mentions a suspicious man fitting James Reynolds' description loitering around the bus stop. She was last seen boarding a vehicle believed to be his.

Scene 2: Interrogation Room

Suspects' Appearances:

1. David Mitchell (Truck driver with a suspicious record):
- David was a burly man in his early 40s, standing at 6'2" with a stocky build.
- He had a rugged appearance, with a closely trimmed beard and dark, piercing eyes.
- David often wore a trucker's cap and a leather jacket, giving him an imposing presence.

2. Sarah Turner (Local mechanic with a dark secret):
- Sarah was a woman in her late 30s, with a disheveled appearance and multiple tattoos on her arms.
- She had short, spiky black hair, and her emerald green eyes held an air of secrecy.
- Sarah's mechanic's uniform was stained with grease, and she had a collection of mysterious scars on her hands.

3. James Reynolds (Mysterious loner known to frequent the area):
- James was a tall and wiry man in his early 50s, often seen in ragged clothing.
- He had unkempt, graying hair and a beard that reached down to his chest.
- His eyes were a pale blue, often reflecting a sense of detachment and isolation.

You interrogate the three suspects separately.
1. David Mitchell: He admits to frequenting the highway for work but denies any involvement in the murders. His truck's tire treads match the tracks found near the abduction site.
2. Sarah Turner: She has a troubled past and seems evasive during questioning. Her mechanic's tools match marks found on the victims' vehicles.
3. James Reynolds: He claims to be a loner who enjoys camping in the area but says he's innocent. His campsite contains unusual items, including women's clothing.

Scene 3: Evidence Analysis
You examine the gruesome clues collected near the highway. The pendant found near Emily's abduction site is stained with her blood. The chilling note, written in blood, raises the stakes of the investigation. You also find a journal with cryptic writings.

Murder Weapon:
- Forensic analysis reveals that the murder weapon used in all cases is a thin, wire-like ligature consistent with a garrote.

Scene 4: Victim Profiles
You investigate the backgrounds of the victims, discovering connections between them, such as attending the same college and visiting a local diner before their disappearances.

Scene 5: Final Confrontation
With the investigation closing in, you gather all suspects and evidence for a final confrontation. Present your findings and give each suspect a chance to confess or provide an alibi.

Outcome
- David Mitchell continues to maintain his innocence but can't explain the tire tracks.
- Sarah Turner reveals her involvement in hiding evidence but denies any role in the murders.
- James Reynolds finally cracks under pressure and admits to the abductions but claims he was forced to do it by an unknown figure.

The gruesome clues, fingerprints, and the murder weapon heighten the sense of urgency in this harrowing case. While James Reynolds' confession sheds light on the abductions, the identity of the sinister figure pulling the strings remains shrouded in mystery. The investigation into this highway of shadows continues, as the team races against time to uncover the truth.

Väldigt "AI" mening. Den committar inte till något utan strösslar mest in lite värdeord kring ett fenomen (eftersom det i praktiken handlar om att lägga ord i följd probabilistiskt). Ungefär som en press release dock skulle låta om polisen saknar information. Eller om en politiker är den som står till svars.

Ballt och läskigt. :)

Min kommentar är att det här såklart går att utveckla och be ChatGPT om mycket mer detaljer om man skulle vilja det. En annan reflektion är att ChatGPT verkar gilla att använda begreppet "shadows". Det var mycket skuggor i CoC-scenariot som ChatGPT GM:ade för mig.

Sen är såklart AI fortfarande AI, men tänker också att ju längre man låter dialogen om innehållet fortsätta, desto längre borde man kunna anpassa sig bort ifrån standard-output.

Det där strösslandet är dock inte AIn ensam om. Jag läste så sent som igår ett dokument på jobbet där det kändes tydligt att den som skrivit tagit i med ord som egentligen är ganska intetsägande eller närmast felaktiga i det aktuella sammanhanget.

EDIT: Med det sagt så hoppas jag fortfarande att du tar dig an Onda människor igen. Tills dess får jag tramsa Vidare med AIn och mordutredarspelet jag köpte för någon månad sedan (Mördaren på Highway 66). 😀

Intressant med en värld där graven behöver placeras så att inga skrik hörs från den…

Tycker hela texten är AI:ig. Som så ofta ser det mer imponerande ut än det egentligen är - det finns ingen substans här, och inga logiska samband. Antagligen ett bra exempel på vad för sorts saker AI inte fixar ännu.

Hade det inte varit för mordvapnet så kanske det handlar om att offret blev levande begravd?

Det här är ju ganska OT, men en sak som verkligen fascinerar mig med hur man interagerar med AI är språket. Att en svensk tipsar en annan svensk på ett svenskt rollspelsforum att skriva ett scenario via AI som ersättning för ett svenskspråkigt scenario, som sedan postas på ett svenskt forum, och man väljer att göra det på engelska. Har sett det ganska mycket, och menar det inte anklagande eller så, men hur kommer det sig att du valde att be ChatGPT att skriva på engelska?

Alltså, om det någonsin kommer en Mindhunters säsong 3, eller riktigt mörk true crime-dokumentär, så blir det nog färdigskrivet. :D

Bra reflektion! Jag brukar faktiskt be ChatGPT skriva på svenska, men just i det här fallet så satt jag och slöade med surfplattan, insåg att jag tidigare hade installerat ChatGPT, men inte testat. Kom på att jag för skojs skull skulle be den skriva ett scenario med premissen och jobbade alltså inte mer med texten utan ville bara se vart det hela skulle ta vägen.
Precis när ChatGPT:n skrivit så var jag tvungen att göra annat så jag sparade texten i ett dokument så den inte skulle försvinna. Igårkväll tänkte jag att det kunde vara kul att svara på entomo´s inlägg, men (precis som du skriver) att det kunde varit trevligare att ha den på svenska. Eftersom ChatGPT-sessionen (troligtvis) inte hade sparat konversationen så hade jag isåfall blivit tvungen att ta en random översättningstjänst och då hade ju lite av syftet (med att visa vad ChatGPT:n kommit fram till) gått förlorat.

Ouch! Mindhunters lär ju tyvärr aldrig hända, men kan ju rekommendera miniserien "The Keepers" som jag får förra helgen. Handlar (troligtvis) inte om seriemord, men mord, mycket mörker och samhällskorruption.
