I just played a short campaign set in the Dresden Files universe. I started in 5e and asked ChatGPT to recommend a more appropriate system. It recommended Fate so I started over with that. GPT walked me through a different setup without stats and DM’ed a decent adventure. It understood nuances of how I used spells and let me capture a cult leader, imprison them and interrogate them to reveal more of the story.

I’m going to be interested to see how well it handles other RPG systems when I get around to experimenting with it. I suspect it will handle the story writing part without issue but will struggle to hold onto system specific rules and other non narrative game elements for smaller less popular systems.
ChatGPT might have suggested Fate because there is Dresden Files RPG that uses Fate:
