Surgeons that play video games (IIRC, FPS games) perform better in surgeries, so it wouldn’t surprise me if video games also had general cognitive benefits.
It would be interesting to see if the genre made a big difference, high speed task management games seem more likely to improve, for example, surgery outcomes compared to playing chess.
If that’s true that takes my interest in it into the negatives. ASOIAF has about a million moving parts and very distinct characters with complex backstories, there’s not even a small chance an LLM could come close to imitating that.
