There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."
Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.
I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

I read a lot of fiction, and a lot of it is dystopian. The silly, over-the-top, trying-way-too-hard authoritarian nomenclature in those stories has always struck me as the most metaphorical, least realistic thing about those novels.
I would like to rescind my opinion in light of current events.
