I think this will happen in a decade or so. We have stuff like AI dungeon now, so people definitely want this (even though most people use it for sex stuff currently)
I have the same desire. It would be awesome to play a co-op D&D campain with an AI dungeon master in a living world. It generates quests and scenarios on the fly, keeps track of your actions, always able to adapt to the changing landscape.
In some ways I suspect the AI tech wont be the problem, more the limitations of game design. But I'm no dev, what do I know!
Yeah, you obviously can't code for infinite possibility, so it just has to be robust enough. And the first step would be text-based. "I walk into the tavern" "There's a fight happening / it's now owned by someone else / bartender asks if you want the usual" kind of thing. Biggest hurdle is having a persistent and cohesive world.
Given the advancement of image/song/code generation, I think it's not out of the realm of possibility for a game to be truly limitless. Just not remotely any time soon.
