In this choose-your-own-adventure game, players will have the option to choose between two paths: one that explores the possibilities and limitations of AI-generated art on a road trip, and one that leads to a page with real human artists. Maiamama coded the videogame in Twinery using Claudia Alick generated text and images from entering custom prompts and fine-tuning data into Chat-GPT, Mall-E, and Dream Woomba. This game was designed in part during livestreams in the Calling Up Justice AI experiment performances with Claudia Alick and Gaming4Justice with Maiamama. As players navigate through the game, they will encounter various scenarios and challenges. They will be presented with text and image options to choose from, leading to different endings that ultimately provide the same choice.
