I spent some weeks trying to make a GPT-3 D&D GM, but indeed it just won't work. I haven't tried GPT-4 yet but this post makes me want to test it for sure.

The problem I had with GPT-3, most of all, was that it tries to "finish the story". E.g. if the players are on a grand campaign to defeat some big bad boss, then this might happen:

GM (GPT): You enter the tavern, and you see a halfling bartender and a few gnome patrons.

Player: I ask the bartender for information about <BIG BAD EVIL GUY>

GM (GPT): The bartender tells you <BIG BAD EVIL GUY> lives in a castle. You and your party storm the castle and manage to defeat <BIG BAD EVIL GUY>.

I managed to get a bit better than that story-wise, but I really felt this problem with battles, it just refused to do an actual battle. When a battle scene started, it always rushed to "after a long and tiring fight, you eventually come out victorious" or something to that effect.
