Dungeon crawling or lucid dreaming?

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.

Looking at it from a different perspective this could basically be what the state of consciousness is engaged in during REM sleep. An exchange of action-responses with the “perception module” in maintenance mode splitting out chunks of trained data describing half-sensible representations of abstractions, doing so based on how the “decider module” reacts to it. In this overly simplified model, a dream is merely a conscious interpretation of a set of brief and segmented memories of this somewhat “adversarial” process between the two modules.

For someone who played muds less for the grind and more for the discovery aspect, I could see this being an entertaining experience.<p>I really enjoyed reading the article, btw. The writing was great, almost as winding and random and dreamlike as the subject matter.

tldr; interesting results! But suitable for mass consumption.<p>theres something uncanny about unleashing this type of &#x27;AI&#x27; creativity that just &#x27;remixes&#x27; endlessly with no human curation.<p>It&#x27;s like pulling up to an all-you-can eat buffet made out of really low quality &#x27;mass&#x27; with no nutrients, and then just over-eating for the next 36 hours. Shoving fork after fork of dense slop into your stomach, and having your body essentially treat it as poison since you only could digest the first 30 minutes of food you shovelled down your throat. The rest is indigestion for all but the most discerning of minds.

I tried it out. As other commenters have pointed out, it doesn&#x27;t produce much of a coherent story, but it does have its amusing moments. For example:<p><pre><code> THE DOOR NOW HAS THE LETTERS &quot;ME&quot; WRITTEN ON IT go through door I DON&#x27;T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT you put your hand on the handle and turn YOU PUT YOUR HAND ON THE HANDLE AND TURN IT WITH A ROAR THE DOOR OPENS</code></pre>

Someone should put this in Dwarf Fortress, or even better, in Minecraft. Imagine Minecraft generating proper dungeons for you to explore. I don&#x27;t know about game design to know how to do this or what&#x27;s wrong with this idea.

It feels more like a chat or than dungeon crawling.<p>I feel like one would get better results by procedurally generating the world then using words just to describe it. Although I&#x27;m sure something like that must exist already.

This 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 shouldn&#x27;t be hard to manually add some object permanence. Looks like that&#x27;d fix a lot of the nonsensical issues it has. Is it worthwhile to train a neutral net to realize, &quot;no, you don&#x27;t have a large bowl, butter, or sugar.&quot;<p>With a few crutches like that, it could be a funny storyteller!

I feel like this game could be improved a lot with better training data. The neural network doesn&#x27;t have training examples of things that are impossible, so it&#x27;s responding in unexpected ways.

These descriptions all seem like nonsequitors which limits my interest. If it had any coherence it would seem super fun.

Sounds like when chatting to the sillybean Chatbot on google home.

Is there some way to embed a sense of continuity in these text generators?<p>It feels like we&#x27;re close, but not there yet
