I never said it's the same quality. I said why hire a famous DM to write the next D&D campaign book(s) if an AI can do it? This means the D&D sales/marketing/executive staff decide they're perfectly okay with mediocre production of chatgpt if they save a chunk of money and rely purely on their brand to make sales, since they reduce their costs they don't have to sell that much either to make the same profit as before. Maybe it comes to bite them in the ass, but that will happen later and the DM has bills/family/food needs right now.

Sure, if they want to completely devalue there brand by releasing low quality stuff they can go ahead. People are not stupid, they will only tolerate low quality stuff for so long. Evident by the rise of self published RPG stuff. I'm not that familiar with that market, but I am familiar with Pro Wrestling. At some point WWE established a monopoly and it's quality slowly started going to shit. some people were completely writing off the industry in North america. But then slowly in 2000s we had the rise of independent promotions and eventually AEW. The whole thing is a beautiful display of capitalism and markets functioning. Monopoly is slowly being broken down because it started producing shit.

Sure, and in the meantime an established, talented DM will now have to struggle harder to eat because the established institutions no longer support their work. That's all I'm saying. Forcing titans of an industry to go back to struggling in indie spaces without their previous audience because industries don't value quality work is precisely why Ikea makes money hand over fist, way more than any freelance individual carpenter.

That's is sad indeed but that's the price we pay for living in a capitalist society. The only way to survive is to be productive in the market. During market adjustments a lot of people get shafted.
