Speaking of MUD, has anyone tried attaching an AI to the Hitchhikers MUD[1]?

This is a text-based game, but it is not a MUD. The MU in MUD stands for multi-user.
Not Hitchhiker's specifically, we'd considered another existing one but as soon as we started digging into IP law related to MUDs, we decided if we're going to do it, we'll just start our own from scratch.

And because scripts and information about famous text based adventure games can be part of what the LLM ingested during training (so unusable for fresh reasoning).
Anyway: very, very, very, very good idea.
Speaking of Douglas Adams, Starship Titanic would be the perfect game to try reimplementing with a modern LLM. It already runs on a primitive chat AI system.
that's funny. the very first thing i had an llm do was to ask it to pretend to be the HHGTTG infocom game. Can't remember how it did.. not amazingly but was interesting still.
I mean that's an Infocom game, so a text adventure a la Zork.
