AI conversational bots

Has anyone checked out any of the Chat AIs like Chat GPT? They seem pretty interesting. It's amazing what computers can do! I've heard people use them to write work emails, make character sheets for Table top games, make Decks for TCGs and make estimations on prices, and put together build lists. Of course it can also have a friendly chat as well! I had it make me a build list to see how well it does. It did pretty well, but there are a few changes that I myself would make to the list, like using more of the budget and from experience with some of the parts I would recommend different parts. It did very well compatibility wise though!
