If Minecraft were made today, Markus would probably have used GPT just like this to generate the end text, rather than trying to find a human writer. I think it's important for all of us to ask ourselves if we think this is a good thing or not. I'm not going to give my opinion because I don't feel like starting an argument this morning, but I think this is an objectively interesting ethical question especially given the context we've all just been given by this post.
I do think Julian's poem is way better and, given Notch already had a huge hit on his hands, paying €20k is definitely worth it even if it's just a tiny improvement in the game.
What I think makes ChatGPT interesting is being able to dynamically generate ending poems that are based on the player and what happened in the game. I replied above with one simple example.
