It's pretty great for DnD. A lot of people have trouble imagining things in full detail from a text or spoken description, so being able to generate images of the scene, characters, objects etc is super fun and adds a lot of richness to the experience.
This is the best use I've found for it as well. Especially if I want to quickly create a unique token for an NPC.
Generally speaking I'll commission actual artists for pictures of PCs, but for a named NPC sorcerer who's just going to be in a handful of scenes? AI has been great.
I haven't played DnD in decades, so I'm unfamiliar with the scene nowadays. How are these visuals presented for the players? Does everyone have a screen? Or this more for an online scenario?
In my specific case this is for a group that plays online. We use a virtual tabletop called FoundryVTT.
