I have played with AI Dungeon and you can use it to play a D&D style setting, that's one of many themes, but the way it plays is really quite different. It's more a co-op story game where the player directs the action (you can literally say something like I find a key in the person's pocket) and the AI makes the story reactive to you. It's fun but no substitute for a TT RPG experience. I have also seen some videos of people's experience with playing D&D with ChatGPT as the DM and it seems quite a mixed bag and not really there yet. I've also seen some thoughts on its application in TT RPG's in general and some of the places I think it could be useful is in aiding the creation of locations and NPC's, either out of game or in-game. Personally I quite like those moments where the characters come up with a good idea that isn't in the scenario and you then have to make something up on the fly and reward them for being inventive.
