The book is of an AI designed to educate through stories and imaginative play. The author of the article told GPT to act as if it was The Young Lady's Primer (TYLP). I thought TFA covered it pretty well, so let me try again:

The author of the article likes the idea of the central focus (and name) of the book, The Young Lady's Primer. I will refer to the book as "Diamond Age" (DA).

DA is never able to directly depict / simulate TYLP, because it is impossible for any of us to really "get" the deep relationship-based and context-rich experience. The author of the article asks GPT to respond as if it is TYLP, given a situational prompt for the storytelling.

So, I guess it's kind of like fan fiction, but it's meant as an experiment / replication of the tech, and the fiction itself is inconsequential. "Fan tech" if you will.
