AI assistance in campaign creation [ChatGPT]

 I like random generators, it;s fun to see what the come up with and they are a great way to play a game when the GM in an RPG game, people seem to forget we are playing too. So it's fun to use a set of tables and try to get something useable out of the results.

AI is racing ahead and able to produce remarkable results. I recently discovered ChatGPT and gave it this prompt:

Create a mini-monster manual in the style of the AD&D monster manual with 6 entries for a campaign called "The Menace of the Flowered Towers"


This is the actual result, it didn't finish the first time but continued after i asked it to complete the entry,
