I feel like this is a really good point. These "synthetic imagination" engines with thin plot are exactly backward. The human capacity for imagination is better than the machine's, but we seek novel narratives, something this could have provided but fell short.

Exactly, and the machine isn't telling a story, it's just running the numbers; something humans are very good at identifying given a bit of time. I'm not sure how cutting the scale way down, and adding some more human touches wouldn't have improved matters tremendously, but then, that would be a different developer skillset.
