Haha love the reference to Fahrenheit 451. There is also a good illustration in the horror story from _9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9 with people sinking into some kind of experience stream, similar to wireheading. Or in “Systema Delenda Est” about postbiological life there is the concept of “Elysium” virtual worlds where people go in and never want to come out again, because they live in a narrative that is always perfect for them. Instead of slop you have perfection that is irresistible. Star Trek had Barkley becoming holo-addicted. Cheese Pizza is really bad for you too lol.

You could argue that something like computer games the story is ultimately told by the player and his decisions and actions, and the world should just react. There is a fundamental limit to storytelling in computer games, which only tabletop role playing games solve with an intelligent narrator or game master. I do think LLMs can fill that role but not very well. But better than what open world games offer today. Not better than a well written movie.
