Another one not mentioned but probably will happen - DLC content for books, where “buying” the book only gives you the most basic, barebones stuff, and you have to pay extra for anything decent.

half the fun of casual dnd is the banter between a dm and their players. who the fuck wants to use an ai dm?
I mean, that's what CRPGs are for. TTRPGs are fun in a very different way.
Maybe some of the most obnoxious powergamer types will gamify subscription automated DMs and "win" over and over again as they always wanted to anyway. Though in my experience some of those types need an audience for what they're doing to witness their greatness. Maybe it'd play out the way Parler and Truth Social have: they get their way but are sad because there aren't enough people there to witness them.
There's always a shortage of DMs relative to players so some groups would definitely use them.
people who can't find a good one? i've had a bad DM or two that some kind of game-rule knowledgeable chatbot AI could surely surpass.
