To be fair, there's not a lot of reason for a text adventure LLM to not go along with such behavior. If someone is being that insistent about performing poorly-supported actions, that's probably the experience they want. A human DM wouldn't go along, of course.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I was pushing it on purpose to see if there were any guard rails. I didn't really fault it for doing what it did, and wasn't even surprised. But it did illustrate the difference between it and a human DM, as you say, or a programmed text adventure (which can often be frustrating in the other, artificially constrained, direction). It actually lead to some really bizarre and enjoyable stream of consciousness type output when I pushed it even farther, and ended up almost trippy.
