When the technology gets there, this will be amazing. I’ll be able to sit down at the computer and say “make me a mystery detective RPG in the style of Sherlock Holmes but set on a cyberpunk styled city on a space station like the Citadel from Mass Effect” and I’ll get just that, generated exclusively for me with a brand new story that fits the themes I asked for.
But that is gonna be a couple decades or more I expect. I dearly hope it happens quickly so I can live to see it, but it’s not going to be in the next ten years, that’s for damn sure.
I hate to be the dream-squasher here but the technology will quite literally never get there. You’re thinking along the same lines as Back to the future where 2015 is filled with flying cars and sky-highways.
Yeah and the only way technology like this might ever get there is with companies like Google and others gathering even more data from you. Which for most people might not be a problem but I’m guessing for people on here you’d probably not like that.
I honestly disagree. The things you’re asking for contain meaning. They require an ability to grasp arbitrary levels of context. There is no way to grasp that level of context without encountering yourself within that broader context and becoming self-aware.
At that point, you might have a system that can do the things you’re describing, but it would be a person. That’s not really automation as much as it is birthing a brand new kind of intelligence, and it may not consent to being your servant, and it would not only be wrong to try to force it, it would be extremely dangerous.
I think for that reason there is a hard limit on automation. Some tasks are the exclusive domain of personhood, not automata.

God damned. LLMs are just the rapture for hopeless dorks.
I can’t wait to play the same AI-generated trite stories over and over again.
Im gonna watch harry potter but draco is macho man randy savage
And you’ll pay $200 for it.
Oh, it’s gonna be way more than that if inflation keeps on the way it has been.
A month.
No, the people that invent it will just never tell anyone. If we find out about it it’ll because people were killed to keep it secret.
I’m curious to know what happens if you ask ChatGPT to make you a text adventure based on that prompt.
Not curious enough to try it and play it myself, though.
It works okay for a while, but eventually it loses the plot. The storylines are usually pretty generic and washed out.
