Perhaps that is because you haven't used my top ten prompts for software devs who are worried about losing their jobs!
But also yes, it is not the greatest thing ever. It is mostly mediocre for me as well. And lots of the most exciting things, like DMing a dungeons and dragons campaign, is actually mostly terrible because it recreates the same scenarios over and over and it never remembers any of the information that a DM should know like anything on your character sheet, when to ask you to roll the dice, or even which version of the rules its supposed to be using even if you ask it directly to use that particular version of the rules. But in fact, it is wild that it has read all of the rules. I was using it to run a star wars saga edition game for myself (I'm not that lonely I promise). And at some point it occured to me this is all copywrited information, is it allowed to read this and then regurgitate it to me? How much of this is fair use? If I wrote a campaign for the system could I regurgitate rules like this in teh campaign book? Who owns all this material that is created not from imagination but from highly complex combinatorics?
I don't want to come off as self-promoting, but the DnD DM problem is exactly what we're working on solving. If you build the infrastructure around the ruleset and leverage the AI for the story telling then it becomes much better than the vanilla ChatGPT experience, i.e it can reference your character sheet, ask you to roll for skill checks, do combat, etc.
It's far from perfect but we're continually working on improving it and you can check it out here if you're interested: https://www.fables.gg/
Game rules are generally not copyrightable. The particular written expression of game rules may be, though. So it becomes a question of how much it took from the game books and whether it presented them verbatim or in a new way.
