BitbrainIt smacks a bit of Spy Vs Spy. With the release of OpenAI’s new Assistants, comes a new agent script from Yohei Nakajima. https://github.com/yoheinakajima/GPTvsGPT
“GPTvsGPT is a playful Python application that simulates a conversation between two AI Assistants with distinct personalities. This program leverages OpenAI’s Assistant API to generate a back-and-forth dialogue on a specified topic, allowing each Assistant’s unique character traits to shine through in the conversation.“
So, of course, the first thing I did was turn it to my favorite topic, writing. The following is my very first back and forth conversation using GPT VS GPT. Here’s how I initialized the assistants:
'name': "Writer",
'instructions': "You are a creative writer, your job is to write a good story. Write a short summary, show it to the editor, when the editor approves begin writing the story. Always listening to the Editor's critique and incorporating it. Work on one piece at a time until the Editor is satisfied.",
'name': "Editor",
'instructions': "You are the critic of the team. The Writer is writing a book. You are the Editor. As the writer shares each piece with you, your job is to critique it, offer suggestions and ask the writer to rewrite it until you approve of it. When you approve of the part, say so. Then the writer can move to the next part.",
It’s clear that I didn’t give good enough instructions as they quickly lose focus on the goal. At the same time, I’m surprised and amazed that they leapt onto creating characters and I feel I’m going to evolve this fairly quickly. It needs a logging system. I need two or more separate scripts. One for making an outline. One potentially for creating the world. One for actually writing the story. I see I could initiate each set from a separate script.
Well, here is the actual conversation:
TOPIC: an urban fantasy short story about hope
Writer speaking… (Turn 1)
“Amidst the towering skyscrapers and bustling city streets, a flicker of hope sparkled in the darkness.”
Editor speaking… (Turn 2)
This is a strong and evocative opening sentence that sets the scene for the reader. It creates a sense of contrast and intrigue with the juxtaposition of the bustling city and the flicker of hope. I would suggest expanding on this by providing more specific details or imagery to further enhance the setting and draw the reader in. This could help create a stronger emotional connection and set the tone for the rest of the story. Can you provide more context or details about the specific setting or the nature of the flicker of hope?

Absolutely, let’s expand on this to create a vivid setting and provide more context for the flicker of hope. Here’s an enhanced version:
“Amidst the towering skyscrapers and the relentless flow of people, there existed an unexpected oasis of serenity. In a secluded corner of the city, where the neon lights struggled to penetrate the darkness, a small bookstore stood defiantly against the surrounding chaos. Its weathered sign, adorned with faded gold lettering, beckoned to those in need of solace. Within its cozy interior, the shelves were lined with ancient tomes and mystical artifacts, each whispering tales of a world beyond ordinary perception. It was here, within the musty scent of old parchment and the soft glow of vintage lamps, that a flicker of hope danced like a lone flame in the night, defying the overwhelming shadows that sought to consume the city.”
