Because it's 'good enough' and you need a quick adventure or setting for your next session, and don't have the time or energy to do it yourself. Sure, AI-module might not have that same verve or spark to it (or new ideas) that a hand-written adventure might, but if it has a decent enough hook, a good map and some good loot, that might be enough. (and since the AI will be cribbing off thousands of hand-written adventures already, it probably will have all those features) >Sure people might choose the cheaper option, but the cheaper option in >this case is not "pay for whatever WotC churns out" but "pirate whatever >you need". Some people don't want to pirate, and if they do, they'll just as likely infringe upon human-written stuff as AI generated.
