Freddies musings with ChatGPT have got me wondering, how close is AI to taking over our jobs, as GAPP setters

I decided to see what it would come up with if asked to create a new genre. First it tried to pass off Numberlink as its own creation, I cant really blame it because I did the same back in school. I asked it to modify the rules of Numberlink to be more original, so it added dots. What did the dots do? Nothing. Fantastic.

But it's a start, maybe it just needs a nudge, I suggested a rule for the dots and it was very happy to add that in. Along with my suggestion it changed the wording on the rules to be a singular path connecting all clues, rather than multiple paths. Screw it, lets roll with that. But now we need to fix the number clues, so I gave another suggestion.

All we needed after that was some fine-tuning adjustments, and then to come up with the name. I thought "Enchanced Dot Connection" might be a bit of a mouthful, so I mentioned most genre names are shorter, creative, and in various languages. That was the final nudge it needed. I present ChatGPT's first genre: Torsione 🪢

(Do you guys think we're safe from skynet?)

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting path through the centers of some cells, starting and finishing on two of the dotted cells, and visiting all remaining cells with clues. Between each dot, the path turns at most once. The path cannot turn on number clues, which indicate the length of the straight line segment passing through the cell
