About this ebook
ASK AI: The Game is based on the book: ASK AI: An Advice Column with Real Advice for Real Problems of Real People with Answers by AI. The game for 3 to 12 players features the same questions in the book which have been asked by real people with problems seeking advice. However, instead of reading the questions and seeing ChatGPT4's advice, players take turns reading those questions and giving their own advice. Then other players vote on who has given the best advice, and later players can see AI's advice for each question.
The problems deal with relationships, marriage, family problems, problems with friends, and work, business, and consumer issues. And AI really does give good advice. Now players can compete to see who gives the best advice and compare it to the advice that ChatGPT4 gives.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ASK AI GAME
––––––––
THE ASK: AI GAME for 3 to 12 players is based on the book: ASK AI: An Advice Column with Real Advice for Real Problems of Real People with Answers by AI. The game for 3 to 12 players features the same questions in the book which have been asked by real people with problems seeking advice. However, instead of reading the questions and seeing ChatGPT4’s advice, players take turns reading those questions and giving their own advice. Then other players vote on who has given the best advice, and later players can see AI’s advice for each question’. Here’s how it works.
Equipment
70 Advice Cards
Chips, Beans, or Other Tokens
Playing the Game
Cut out the Ask Advice Cards, which are numbered from 1 to 69, followed by 5 Make Up Your Own Problem cards. The Advice Cards correspond to the numbered advice which AI gives to each question.
Ideally, the game is best played by 3 to 8 players, but up to 12 can play. Beyond that number, divide players into smaller groups, so all can participate in giving advice.
Place the Chips, Beams or Other Tokens in the center of the players. These represent the players’ winnings, or you can keep score on a sheet of paper.
Turn the Advice Cards face down, shuffle them, and deal one to each player.
Players in turn read their problem aloud. Then, starting to the left of that player, each player in turn shares their advice for a minute or two. After all players give their advice, players vote by raising their hand for one player other than themselves who they think has given the best advice. Then, the winning player takes one Chip, Bean, or Token. If there is a tie, both players take one Chip, Beam, or Token.
After voting, read the advice that ChatGPT gave to that problem, and players can share what they think of that advice.
Each round consists of all players sharing advice in turn. Play as many rounds as you want. The player with the most votes at the end of the game is the winner.
You can reward that player however you want, such as with a cheer, an ASK AI trophy you design, or a drink or dessert at a local restaurant or bar.
HOW ASK AI WAS DEVELOPED
The idea for Ask AI began when I saw a March 23 article about AI therapy in the New York Times, after working with AI for writing and illustrations since November 2022. Also, I had produced a film on the subject: The AI Revolution, led a Facebook group The AI Revolution and Writers and Artists
, and was a featured speaker on AI at various events, including the first TechBeat Conference for AI professionals in the field. According to the Times article, a growing number of people are using conversations with AI to help them in their daily life, and they have gotten helpful advice. As Alyson Krueger wrote in this article, We Need to Talk: Just as Soon as I consult ChatGPT
Faced with challenging situations in parenting, romance or work, some are getting by with a little help from their A.I. friends...(They) are turning to artificial intelligence chat bots to figure out what to say in situations that feel high-stakes. They are using the tool to talk or read to their children, to provide difficult feedback, to write wedding vows, or to pen love letters.
In short, for some people, AI has become like a therapist to help people deal with everyday personal problems and provide them with advice.
Thus, the idea for Ask AI was born with three key questions: What would happen if an AI chatbot was asked for advice like an advice columnist? What kind of response would they get? Would it be useful to deal with their problems?
Then, I invented a few questions to ask AI about anxiety. The result was a conversation which provided some insightful comments. It went like this:
––––––––
What do you recommend for someone suffering from fear and anxiety?
If you are suffering from fear and anxiety, here are some recommendations that may help:
Seek professional help: anxiety disorders are highly treatable, and a mental health professional can provide you with the right treatment plan, including therapy and medication.
Practice relaxation techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
Exercise regularly: Physical activity has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress, so try to incorporate exercise into your routine.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and reducing or avoiding alcohol and caffeine can help reduce anxiety.
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: Anxiety is often fueled by negative thoughts, so try to identify and challenge those thoughts when they arise.
Practice self-care: Taking time for yourself and engaging in activities that bring you joy can help reduce anxiety and promote well-being.
Remember, seeking help for anxiety is a sign of strength, not weakness. It's important to prioritize your mental health and well-being and take the steps necessary to address anxiety and fear.
If I'm feeling fearful and anxious about something, can I talk to you?
Of course, you are welcome to talk to me about your fears and anxieties. While I am just an AI language model and not a licensed mental health professional, I am here to provide support and offer guidance to the best of my ability. However, if you feel that you need more immediate or professional help, it is always best to seek out a licensed therapist or counselor who can offer specialized support and guidance.
What do you suggest I do to feel better if I'm worried about a relationship?
If you're worried about a relationship, here are some suggestions that may help you feel better:
Talk to your partner: Communication is key in any relationship. Try to express your concerns and feelings to your partner in a calm and respectful manner. It's important to listen to their perspective as well.
Practice self-reflection: Take some time to reflect on your thoughts and feelings. Consider the source of your worries and try to identify any patterns or triggers that may be contributing to your anxiety.
Focus on the present: Instead of worrying about the future or dwelling on the past, try to focus on the present moment. Enjoy the time you spend with your partner and appreciate the positive aspects of your relationship.
Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is essential for maintaining healthy relationships. Make time for activities that bring you joy and help you relax, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with friends.
Seek professional help: If your anxiety about the relationship is impacting your daily life and causing you significant distress, consider seeking the help of a licensed therapist or counselor. They can help you work through your worries and develop healthy coping strategies
Remember that it's normal to feel worried or anxious about relationships from time to time. With the right tools and support, you can work through your concerns and build healthy, fulfilling relationships.
What if I tried talking to my partner and tried self-reflection and care, but those didn't work. What do you suggest I do now.
If talking to your partner and practicing self-reflection and care haven't worked, here are some additional suggestions:
Consider couples’ therapy: Couples’ therapy can provide a safe and neutral space for you and your partner to explore your concerns and work through any issues in the relationship. A therapist can help you both communicate effectively and develop healthy strategies for managing conflict.
Set boundaries: If you feel that your partner's behavior is contributing to your anxiety, it's important to set clear boundaries. Communicate your needs and expectations and be willing to enforce consequences if those boundaries are not respected.
Take a break: If the relationship is causing you significant distress, it may be helpful to take a break or step back for a period of time. This can allow you to gain perspective and evaluate whether the relationship is ultimately healthy for you.
Seek individual therapy: If your anxiety is related to deeper issues or past trauma, it may be helpful to seek the help of a licensed therapist or counselor. They can provide you with the tools and support needed to work through these underlying issues and manage your anxiety.
The responses seemed perfectly reasonable, so I approached a life coach, Christina Dalton, who I collaborated with on a book about treating anxiety, since she regularly gives people advice about their life as a counselor and coach. What did she think about the quality of advice provided by ChatGPT? She thought it was quite good, finding the advice was right on, much like advice she would give her own clients. As she told me, I found this was excellent advice – the kind of advice that I might provide if a client came to me with that problem.
Thus, I continued to develop the idea for Ask AI, with plans to have a team of counselors, life coaches, therapists, and psychologists as advisers to review the advice and make sure it continues to be good advice.
I began asking the people I knew to share problems they had or knew about and found problems that people reported in newspapers and online, though I took out any names and changed the details. Then, I began asking ChatGPT what someone might do when facing these problems in their life. I imagined that if ChatGPT was a columnist, what advice would they give someone with that problem? Then, as I began to get advice from ChatGPT, I sought out the professional opinion of Christina Dalton and other counselors, coaches, and consultants who regularly gave advice to their clients.
The result of these sources is Ask AI. It is based on asking AI a series of questions raised by real people seeking advice about what to do in a challenging situation that I read about or learned about from others. After I described each situation to ChapGPT4, available from Open AI, I recorded its responses. Later, I combined the results of two responses, since most GPT replies offer an opportunity to regenerate
another response.
The book features the original question to AI and its advice divided into the major areas of concern – relationships, marriage, friendships, family conflicts, and work and business problems. Commonly, AI draws on certain principles for having good relationships, furthering one’s own mental health, and supporting one’s values, much like a regular counselor might do. For example, some recommendations are to have good communication, establish boundaries, understand the other person’s perspective, reflect on personal goals, consider different outcomes, engage in self-care, get advice from trusted third parties, and, if warranted, seek professional counseling. But then these suggestions for making choices and taking action are adapted to the particular problem presented to AI for advice.
This is the first book in what will be a series featuring books of advice for individuals with different backgrounds and age groups asking AI for advice about different problems. Individuals nationally will be invited to submit their questions for advice.
In addition, a syndicated column, Ask AI,
is planned for online and print newspapers and magazines. It will feature questions and answers and will invite readers to submit their questions for advice from AI. A reality show and game show based on AI giving advice is also planned.
The book features chapters on the following topics:
Relationships
Marriage
Family Problems
Friendship Problems
Work, Business, and Consumer Issues
The game includes questions in these five categories, although they are listed by corresponding numbers for the cards and for the advice by AI.
