This is a really good interview. tl;dw is...

their next game was going to be D&D, but they changed course and are doing something else now
Vincke has a vision for "the one RPG to rule them all", and each of their past three RPGs is a step closer to it
the next game is not going to be that master vision but one step closer toward it, with their previous 3 RPGs proving out emergent design/multiplayer, story and consequence, and personal stories/performance capture, respectively
Vincke would like to have this next game done in 3 years compared to BG3's 6 year development cycle, but realistically expects 4 years, as long as there isn't something like COVID-19 or a war in Ukraine to impede their progress

Perhaps but I can't see anyone who is interested in creating and communicating fake worlds eschewing the idea too much. If you make a fake world, there's no way you could ever 'get it all out' since you're just one guy. This would open up that possibility to make a world bigger than yourself and what you can get out of your brain

E: Here's a long worldbuilding thread about it -- https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/186cspn/your_thoughts_on_the_use_of_ai_for_worldbuilding/

Seems mixed.
