I would feel inclined to use it for some weird shit like if you use an undocumented and never explained method to ask characters questions outside of the choices, they’d pick up their phone and look at you with an uncanny valley/bethesda-like facial expression gain awkward animations and text you the responses even though they weren’t characters you could exchange phone contacts with.
Not even “weird” shit, just variations of similar sentiments on various characters.
Like, you have a city with hundreds of people on the street, yesterday something noteworthy happened and everyone has an opinion on that. Each NPC gets a bunch of parameters, some pre-defined, some random, and answers based on that.
