Godmode Epochs aims to simulate how AI comes to understand the human world by asking players to assist in the process of training an AI system. The game eventually develops into an exploration and appreciation of "differently aligned" AIs, retelling stories of AIs that have completed trainings or tasks in surprising, uncanny or cursed ways that could not be anticipated by their human programmers. These stories originate from the textual data used to train the AI to speak, data which includes Wikipedia entries and upvoted Reddit posts - including both demonstrated lab examples of cheating AIs and internet folklore telling of similar feats.
Development was supported by Serpentine Arts Technologies and The Alan Turing Institute.
