I think this really underrates the 15 years of work that has gone into creating interlocking systems to generate geography, civilizations, people, artifacts, emotions, poetry, &c, &c. Especially because you can see, often, what specific historical events or personal events are impacting your dwarfs frame by frame.

So on the contrary I DF is an example of how creative & human generative algorithms can be, you can't get anything as rich as DF with LLMs (currently at least, I guess)
