It depends on if you want samey games or anything creative.

You could have complex realistic dialogue for innkeeper #28917 in the little hamlet of ass backwards, but:

One: do you really want that? There is such a thing as too much realism in a video game.

Two: do you really want all NPCs in all games to speak nigerian business english?

It's a simple thing:

Who wants to read AI-generated articles and respond to AI-generated comments? Probably not many. For same reason gamers mostly don't want to chat with AI-backed NPCs. More is only better when it has meaning.

More is only better when it has meaning.

Well there are a lot of AAA gaming companies that should learn that. But instead they feel they have to ad MOAR CONTENT and then complain of balooning costs...
