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)

Some people don't want to pirate, and if they do, they'll just as
likely infringe upon human-written stuff as AI generated.
