This is still so bizarre to me. I've worked on 3D rendering engines trying to create realistic lighting and even the most advanced 3D games are pretty artificial. And now all of a sudden this stuff is just BAM super realistic. Not just that, but as a game designer you could create an entire game by writing text and some logic.
In my experience as a game designer, the code that LLMs spit out is pretty shit. It won't even compile half the time, and when it does, it won't do what you want without significant changes.
You should refine your thoughts more instead of dumping a stream of consciousness on people.
Essentially what this stream of consciousness boils down to is "Wouldn't it be neat if AI generated all the content in the game you are playing on the fly?" Would it be neat? I guess so but I find that incredibly unappealing very similar to how AI art, stories and now video is unappealing. There's no creativity involved. There's no meaning to any of it. Sentient AI could probably have creativity but what people like you who get overly excited about this stuff don't seem to understand is how fundamentally limited our AI actually is currently. LLMs are basically one of the most advanced AI things rn and yet all it does is predict text. It has no knowledge, no capacity for learning. It's very advanced auto correct.
We've seen this kind of hype with Crypto with NFTs and with Metaverse bullshit. You should take a step back and understand what we currently have and how incredibly far away what has you excited actually is.
