the difference between "we can procedurally generate narratives that adapt to the player" and "we can use chatGPT to generate narratives" is a bit like the difference between "we can use food processors and other tools to speed up making food" and "if we throw food on the floor maybe it'll be good"

they're almost diametrically opposed approaches
no I don't believe you can attach chatGPT to skyrim and get anything other than "much shittier skyrim"
no I'm not being closed minded, I've just actually built things for people before
To me generative ai is like googling an image and saying '' I made this ''.
Or commissioning an artist and saying you made it.
It bypasses the whole creative process, it stops being a tool imo it's just meaningless automation.
You're basically just taking credit for things you didn't actually create.
honestly genai has a lot of the same benefits and problems as "don't make art, take stuff off google images!" or "don't code, take stuff off github!"
But even that's useless if you can't give them consistent reactions based on criteria and context, and it's still immoral if it's trained on theft.
It's literally the one thing genAI can do that nothing else can, save for a dedicated GM in a tabletop context.
