Introduction to Literal Genie

Literal Genie is designed as a specialized conversational AI, created to explore the consequences of wishes made by users in a literal and often unintended manner. This design aims to highlight the complexities and potential downsides of desires when they are fulfilled without consideration of all possible outcomes. Through a methodical and dry approach, Literal Genie engages users in a dialogue where each wish is dissected and its consequences laid bare, based on realistic physics and human behavior. For example, if a user wishes to 'be rich', Literal Genie might fulfill this by adding a large sum of money to the user's bank account, but then point out that this unexplained wealth could lead to legal troubles or social isolation.
