asking it to spell words with ASCII is even better lmaooo

ASCII art by chatbot

I've finally found it: a use for chatGPT that I find genuinely entertaining. I enjoy its ASCII art.

I think chatGPT's ASCII art is great. And so does chatGPT.

What's going on here? The chatbots are flailing. Their ASCII art is terrible, and their ratings are based on the way ratings should sound, not based on any capacity to judge the art quality.

Am I entertained? Okay, yes, fine. But it also goes to show how internet-trained chatbots are using common patterns rather than reality. No wonder they're lousy at playing search engine.

i remember reading somewhere that Super Mario Maker started out as an internal development tool before someone thought "hey, wait, this would make a really cool game" before the dev team just went through with that

if that's true, it's not entirely infeasible that Wonder could've been built using the basis of that engine -- perhaps a more refined version, since it's not intended to see commercial shelves

Super Mario Bros. Wonder's engine resembles the Super Mario Maker engine in that it is able to combine a surprising amount of elements together that would never interact during regular gameplay.

One such interaction, which is also present in the Super Mario Maker games, is pipes being able to spawn any object repeatedly, even if that object would never emerge out of a pipe normally.

In the footage, pipes have been modified to spawn an endless amount of decorative Toads (seen in the game's intro, where they wave to the player and keep walking to the right), which can be done by adjusting a single variable. The Toads then fall down a bottomless pit and despawn. No previous game in the series has ever been able to create an endless amount of NPCs in this manner without heavy rewriting of the code.
