I think rolepley with LLMs is fun. They're surprisingly creative and cabable of describing fantasy settings. Though, it doesn't really compare to D&D. I mean first of all your friends are missing and so is the pizza, so it's a different experience altogether.

And the LLMs are more invested in the storytelling. They don't strictly adhere to the rulebook. And they don't do the calculations and dice rolls correctly. They'll decide to push for a resolution, happy ending or whatever they deem fit. And it's not a fair game that feels like encounters are settled by the character's abilities. It's more storytelling tropes being the deciding factor. And I believe I'm missing a proper story arc... So I think it's fun, but not D&D.
