// same wild prompt → three different ghost-hunter picnic games //
What's this?
It's improv comedy, but the bit is software. The audience throws prompts at us — features, themes, ridiculous constraints — and we build the app live, on stage, in 45 minutes.
No script. No safety net. No backup slides if the model rate-limits us.
The prompt: "Build a Ghost Hunter app with National Parks picnic planning for picky eaters, add the Three Body Problem, graffiti style."
Three frontier models took the same nonsense and shipped. Pick a fighter.
