With a few crutches like that, it could be a funny storyteller!
I’m no expert, but it just seems like a lot of nonsense? This doesn’t fit my definition of a game as much as it just seems like a random semi-amusing chatbot.
Sure but the “semi-amusing” part varies a lot from person to person. It pattern matches into old neurons and rewards some people (like me) with much delight. It’s valuable nonsense to me at least.

Yeah, but have you noticed over the last few years it's getting better and better (i.e. less and less nonsense). This is the beginning of machine reasoning and procedural storytelling
There's not much reasoning going on in those samples. It can stick a subject input you provide it into a sentence which is sometimes serendiptously funny (and usually grammatically correct tbf, although it looks like that's mostly because it heavily reuses direct quotes from its source material), but it can't handle the basics of game construction like responding properly to a request to go north after telling you th…

What I read in this article doesn't show much I (of AI) to me, but highlights how 30yrs ago there was a lot of creative thinking to generate an open seeming environment.

THE DOOR OPENSThis title amused me. For many years now, my dreams have actually felt a lot like dungeon crawling. Every night it is a new area to explore, often with strange challenges and puzzles along the way.
It does seem a lot like that... I have a good recollection of my latest dreams, right before I wake up, whenever I sleep too long. Today was specially interesting... My recollection begins at na office, clearly not a place I have been before, white walls, an L shaped room, long white messy desks full of computers and papers, but everyone in the room was known to me. They were my co-workers. I remember talking about s…
Here's a question for you: Are the people in your dream from real waking life, or are they more like characters in a story/NPCs in a game?
In my dreams I have charachters who aren't from real life. Like for example, I don't have a sister in real life, but in one dream, there's this person who is just casually my sister, and it all feels like it makes sense, even though in real life it makes no sense. In a related fashon, there's associations with people that aren't logical, but feel logical in the dream. For example, in one disturbing nightmare, I discovered a box belonging to my father - but there's no reason why in the dream I should conclude that the box is his, it's literally a box with zero context, but the context was somehow there none the less.

>There's not much reasoning going on in those samples. but you agree there is some? that's the significance.
There is clearly no reasoning going on in those samples. Computers have been able to reason for longer than they've been able to dream, anyway.
other people in this thread don't hold that opinion.
It feels more like a chat or than dungeon crawling. I feel like one would get better results by procedurally generating the world then using words just to describe it. Although I'm sure something like that must exist already.
What do you consider "better" in this context? The thing with textual descriptions is that it is vague enough to let you fill in the blanks. The generated text relies on the human mind to complete it. Generating a world a la Minecraft loses that ambiguity, which in this situation might actually be a problem because it can no longer lean on our imagination.
