AI (GPT-3 and similar technology). It's spawning a new generation of games, probably similar to roguelikes in that the effort bar is low enough that someone of generic skill can build one on their own. Games have the potential to be far more emergent than they ever were. AI Dungeon is like the Zork of today.

AI dungeon struck me the same way Eliza did in the mid-90s, trite. It wasn't really interactive, in my estimation. Maybe I just have a poor imagination for that style of game.

Like looking or examine an object twice would give contradictory accounts. Now, unreliable narrator is a valid storytelling device, but it just seemed ... Eliza.
