I don't think this is correct, it looks like our intrepid experimenter is about to independently discover roleplaying games. Humans are capable of spending hours engaging with each other about nonsense that is technically a very poor attempt to simulate an imagined environment.

The unrealistic part, for people older than a certain age, is that neither bot invoked Monty Python and subsequently got in trouble with the GM.

This falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Silly Talks.

As an avid roleplayer, I don't think that's a good analogy. It's not nonsense, it's fiction, with collaboration and context.

Yeah, in role playing, you understand the rules of engagement and you are willing to participate just to see where does it leads to. You collaborate with the system and give it enough breath to figure out where it leads to. If it seems broken, then you try a couple times, to then move on.

I made a couple AIs try to play a Fallout RPG. The Result was uncanny, but vacuous.

Children ask a lot of questions too. Often repetitive questions.

For example: "are we there yet?"
