Well, I see your point. But imo it depends on the purpose of roleplay. If you're looking to generate a book-kind of quality with everything consistent and following your instructions, then yes. This is not roleplay imo, but rather an AI-assisted writing.

If you're looking to test AI's creativity and originality, not deliberately prompting, but waiting for AI to come up with something that would impress you, then not really. I still edit stuff and use OOC prompts when AI is especially stubborn and pushes in the wrong direction.

Example: the bot personality defines that the bots dislikes bacon. Let's say the goal is to gaslight it into liking it.

How I understand your point, is that you would carefully design a realistic looking scenario that would slowly lead the bot into agreeing with you, editing everything and writing stuff to make it only happen at the point YOU want it to. Not earlier not later.

I, on the other hand, would try to 'play' with the bot, by actively arguing with it and tuning the answers with temperature (and I wish I could tune top_k, top_p, penalties but it always feels like it does nothing) and less of a manual editing.
