It reminds me of moms I interviewed who stopped following the news once they sent their kids back to in-person school after Covid closures. They told me "I'm putting my head in the sand." They didn't want to know what was happening because knowing meant having to do something with that knowledge.

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"
