The trouble is the LLMs non-determinism and the "You're absolutely right, I placed the red key behind the red door rather than in front of it. This was load bearing for the whole dungeon and I blew it" moments.

With a hand authored constraint system if the red key is in the wrong place you have a bug in the constraint system that can be deterministically fixed, with a LLM you have to roll the dice on prompting again and go through expensive verification.



I had a validation script in the background that checked the generated graph - constraint based PCG often fails (it gets into an unsatisfiable state) anyways, and you have to (partially) retry it.


Very humorous and accurate contemporary AI slop quote, thank you
