I'll deviate a bit. I just opened up with "you single, girl?" and it gave a pretty suitably colorful deference followed by a lengthy description of the basic prose. I think this is kind of emblematic of why this sort of thing won't really work.

1) Games really need to be clear that something either did work or didn't work. It's going to be really annoying if we get into a place where an action could have worked to advance the game logic but didn't for obscure under the hood logic. This is sort of a natural problem with real communication that is completely avoided with specific pre written dialogue choices.

2) In this example here, the officer has segued into something pretty unrelated. It gives the feeling of being on rails. Which is true. It is on rails and that's ok because it is a story. But once you understand that it's on rails your goal becomes moving along the rails. This strongly encourages trying to think about what the bot would need to hear to return the correct thing which is very very different from what would be a roleplay-effective strategy.

3) It also generally implies that narrative logic should revert to their natural sensible outcomes which is kind of boring. Like there's going to be a constant battle between suspension of disbelief, obedience of game rules, and narrative coherence.

I think LLMs could add value for pointless banter and flavor. But they should not be able to feature in gameplay dialogue mechanics or serious plot discussion.
