Indeed. There are plenty of groups of people who would love to play together but who just don't have anyone who's willing or able to act as the dungeon master. If AI gets good enough then this could lead to a great expansion of social interaction over a D&D table.

And if someone wants to play solo, why not support that too?

The key to it all is the if AI gets good enough part. If it doesn't then all this is moot.

As of now, plenty of people use "solo" games (not DM + a single player, but pure solo), or Mythic GM Emulator/Oracle.

If they are ok with such a crude solution, then I guess they will perceive ChatGPT DM as way superior engine.
