Preemptively banning an entire class of tool like that is ridiculous, IMO. Especially before there's even whatever ill-defined "problem" you're imagining.
I make a lot of use of AI tools in the course of prepping and running adventures. With the advent of generative AI I've been able to produce adventures of far higher quality and depth than I was able to make previously. Dozens of pieces of custom art, high quality battle maps rather than just lines on a grid, custom theme music and songs. I record each session and have an AI transcribe it and then another AI automatically generates detailed notes from the transcript for the players. Every session I post a 4-minute AI-generated "last time, on FaceDeer's D&D campaign..." video summarizing the previous adventure for players to watch if they feel like they can't remember what happened.
I don't know what you're imagining, but how is any of this a "problem"? Both my players and I love this.
And jerking off is better with some lube. Doesn't mean this is the place to show off the pics. What you do in the privacy of your own home, or at your own table, actually isn't especially well correlated to what someone else might be interested in hosting for you.
You don't think people should be discussing what they do at their RPG tables in a TTRPG community? What do you think the purpose of this community is?
