Dice tables. They've existed forever and they work just fine without an internet connection.

Yes, but what's nice about using AI for it is that it's contextually aware. If my players are in a major city I want a dice table that fits that context, if they're in a small seaside village I want one for that context. I may also want to customize it with very easy or very hard monsters, NPC's with certain backgrounds or traits and so on. I've been using ChatGPT for exactly that and it really helps make the campaigns less repetitive.
