ChatGPT already does really good adventure games.
"Let's play an adventure game, you be the DM. I want it set on a spaceship arriving at a planet after 10,000 year journey. It should have a sense of mystery and a slight sense of foreboding and dread. It must have at least 20 locations. The objective of the game is to find 10 colonists in the ship and get them safely to the surface of the planet. Make it play in the style of an Infocomm adventure. Don't tell me all the locations in advance, make discovery part of the adventure."
As a form of story telling, yes.
As a challenge, not really. You can just convince it to let you win. (Said differently: the meta-game is too easy.)
You need the second layer of output validation[1] to re-add the challenge of solving a puzzle.
[1] or some such mechanism; more rigorous system vs user input separation could also work
True, but remarkably fun stories.
As an aside, there should be an AI encabulator.
