The 3P Manual of the Planes was dramatically better than the official 5E Planescape set. I've read every non-adventure PS book and have been a Planescape fan since the day it launched, so this isn't a casual opinion.
Ultimately he's showing that either he doesn't have a common experience and/or he says false things about what experience he does have. A millionaire CEO is unlikely to ever really have an average person's experience given their position.
Thinking about it, I could see one way AI could have an impact: Helping indecisive and distracted players. If it could give them a tiny tiny menu of options they could just push the button on it could speed up play for some tables.
I feel that AI is unlikely to increase revenue in a significant way. The income of players will not increase. Online play already exists and is free. Gaming tools already exist.
I do not think the market for AI DMs or players is terribly large, and it would compete with real gaming communities...
I imagine he's talking a lot more about professional activities and experiments rather than typical organic hobbyist activities.When I was a game tester I "played video games with" tons of people and "played" all kinds of games that I would never so much as look at.

It would likely be a trivial cost. Depends on the LLM and plan they use, but it could easily be a rounding error if they're already paying for it for other things.
Yeah. Getting and digesting old data, sure, cool. Creating new data? Get a human.
