I wrote a few MUDs in late 90s and early 00s. LLMs would definitely make a more dynamic and lively world for NPCs. I can even see a place for dynamic quest building. But it isn’t going to produce a full world without a significant amount of prompting. I do see how it can help write a lot of boilerplate (item descriptions, back stories, etc). A big thing I always wanted is memory and we worked a long time on it for tracking logic (footprints, hunting). Conversational memory is probably single biggest thing that excites me.
