I actually just started using it as a way to flesh out information for world building a tabletop tools playing game.
Not all the information tracks, but it is ok for brain storming. When asked to generate a character it gets things wrong. It invents skills and classes. When asked to distribute points it forgets about all the skills. It is best to give it a task of creating a background, but it is very bland and doesn't go outside of certain ideas.
It’s amazing for DMing. You can use it to whip up a random town, create NPCs, and generate plot hooks.
You still need to work it into the context of your game and be ready to improvise, but it is a very nice alternative to random tables.
Same, I use it for ideas and inspiration, not fully built out anything
It's moderate at making up npc statblocks if I give it a description and a CR. I do find myself having to tweak the numbers a bit but it's great for coming up with special abilities or unique spell like effects.
