Exquisite Corpse

“The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine.” Paris, 1925

Exquisite Corpse is a parlor game in which players add images or a few words to a sheet of paper, fold it to hide previous turns, and hand it off to the next player. This version of the game seats a language model at the table. Submit one to five words per line for every turn you play, then hand off the poem to the next in line for them to follow up. Rinse and repeat until someone decides to end the game and reveal the poem, with close reading analysis to accompany it.

Solo play

Try your hand at a solo round with your favorite large language model. Modify the system prompt, steer with a style of verse, and tinker with related settings in a fullscreen view.
