I'm not so sure. I certainly wouldn't want a roleplaying game arbitrated by an AI GM running on a server in a Google bunker. Either it's my AI, running on my decentralized machine, or I'll stick with good old scripted scenarios, or a human GM for tabletop. Accepting that central AI would mean feeding the "games as a service" machine. We're getting too dependent on remote services anyway in so many aspects of life.
