Inform 7 was written for people like yourself. Check it out. The syntax is prosaic enough for a humanities nerd to write and structured enough for ChatGPT4 to generate.
Contrived example:
> The Exhibition Room is a room. It contains a closed locked lockable transparent openable container called the display case. The display case contains a priceless pearl. The display case is scenery. The description of the Exhibition Room is "By far the finest thing in the room is a priceless pearl in a glass display case. It should of course be yours[if key is not visible], if only you can remember where you hid the key[end if]."
> The silver key unlocks the display case.
> A jade vase, a teak chest, a bronze teakettle, and a child's burial casket are openable closed containers in the Exhibition Room.
> After taking the pearl: say "The pearl rolls into your hand, gleaming in the oblique light; your fortune is made."
> end the story finally.
I am aware of Inform 7, I think it is awesome. A few months ago I made a quick demo using Inklescript[1], which I found simpler and more suitable to my project (a Star Trek adventure). Inform 7 remains something I wish to explore in the future when I need something more complex.
Thanks! ;)

But it doesn't matter, the MUD community seems already annoyed by bad AI proposals. It would take a good and consistent communication effort to overcome that.
