I filled Minecraft's end poem blanks with ChatGPT

[Redswap]

I tried to fill in the blanks of Minecraft's end poem using ChatGPT (GPT-4o architecture). It gave me this:

 

"Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen?

It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of

the universe, and created a reality for itself, in the infinite."

[...]

"Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely illusion and shadow, I wish to tell them that they are lost in the darkness. They see so little of reality, in their long dream."

Full original poem available here: https://www.theendpoem.com/

So what do you think? Do you think the word choices are appropriate, or perhaps it could send another message?

Personally I think both parts are well written, but I feel like the second part could have used different words ("shadow" and "darkness" are unusually negative for no reason I think).

Note that I didn't prompt ChatGPT to fill in the blanks in any particular way, except for the second part, because it kept filling the blanks with multiple words instead of one for each.
