However, the storytelling abilities of large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT have always been limited by \u201ccontext memory,\u201d causing responses that are often hallucinatory or internally inconsistent in narrative detail. The LLM might never respond, \u201cI don\u2019t understand that,\u201d but it also has a tendency to lose the plot rather quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This paper presents two recent demonstrations that seem to successfully mitigate such memory woes, using distinct methods to produce text-based interactive games that offer surprisingly coherent and structurally-consistent narrative responses: PANGeA (\u201cProcedural Artificial Narrative using Generative AI\u201d) and its prototype game, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark Shadows GPT<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and Steven Johnson\u2019s \u201cYou Exist in the Long Context,\u201d which begins with a playable 10-turn interactive fiction based on Johnson\u2019s recent book, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Infernal Machine.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeremy Andriano is a Communication &amp; Culture MA candidate at TMU.
