Show HN: llmgame.ai – The Wikipedia Game but with LLMs (llmgame.ai)
I used to play the Wikipedia Game in high school and had an idea for applying the same mechanic of clicking from concept to concept to LLMs.
Will post another version that runs with an LLM entirely in the browser soon, but for now, please enjoy as long as my credits last...
Warning: the LLM does not always cooperate

Getting from Visible Spectrum to Rainbow seemed impossible (tried all actions)
Under the hood, the prompts are all something like this "Generate nouns that are broader, more general categories that encompass 'Piano'. Return exactly three distinct Wikipedia-style article titles that are nouns, formatted as a comma-separated list with no extra text. Do not include descriptions or adjectives. Focus on specific, named entities or concrete noun concepts only."
The outputs are then deduped from previous generations and any new options are displayed. Based on my result, if you spammed 'deeper' enough, the model would eventually have given you 'Rainbow Chromaticity'.
Uncooperative and non-deterministic.
