GPT-driven induced lucid dreams + sleeping pills + sleeping pods makes for a nice dystopian near-future movie plot where there's a new class of ever more hardcore Hikikomori that not only never leave their house, they also sleep for 20 hours per day and only wake up to do hygiene and so on. Maybe a further version includes supporting staff for life support maintenance like in paliative care place but for "never-awoke" people just sleep and navigate induced dreams 24/7 by having IV nutrition and staff to clean and turn them in bed.
