Generative AI is already being tapped to write books, but it struggles with basic narrative. Just look at what happens when you make one a dungeon master.
The story seems to be behind a paywall, but I guess I don't need a news article to tell me that what they have decided is AI is merely more and more code querying more and more data, and no real thinking whatsoever as a computer is not capable of making an actual decision other than what it is programmed to do. So spitting out crap isn't shocking to me in any way.
