Some can do amazing things and using some randomization and evolutionary techniques even solve problems we have a hard time doing.  For other things that we take for granted they struggle with or simply can't do it.AI can emulate simple conversations because it has a databank of questions and responses gleaned from some source.  An AI could be taught to learn the rules of D&D, just like it's been taught to learn chess.  But holding a real conversation? You'll hit limits.  Actually creating entire campaigns from scratch?  Logically responding to what the PCs do with the flexibility that a DM can?  Nope.  I don't see it happening any time soon.</blockquote>
