It makes me feel ill to see computers doing things like this. Aidungeon was difficult to stomach as well. GANs were invented on a whim by a single person. Nobody thought it would work when applied to this kind of problem. It came out of nowhere. Pretty soon someone will try something on a higher order task and it’s going to work. We are opening Pandora’s box and I’m not sure that we should do that.
i read a few of the AI Dungeon transcripts. i think it's worthless. you type in a command, like you would with an actual infocom-style adventure game, and it spits out a bunch of flowery language and gobbledygook, the likes of which you can get in abundance from any self-help guru. there is no state, no way to win, no way to lose. to compare it to actual adventure games is ludicrous.
likewise, i have yet to see anything having to do with StyleGAN photo manipulation that goes very far beyond the level of a parlor trick.
this stuff is going to appeal to the same people who love cryptocurrencies, and will have about the same level of real-world effect.
