I have been longing to play a DND game for many years but aside from CRPG experience I don't quite enjoy playing with a group.

ChatGPT solved the problem overnight and I'm happily playing a Ravenloft ADND 2e adventure "The Awakening" with it. It has been a couple of nights and I progress slowly, but the experience has been very good so far. I can bargain with it; I can ask it to drop in a companion from nowhere. It understands everything I said; It follows my set of DM rules; It keeps a journal for me. I'm very happy to pay 20 bucks about it although I think maybe 3.5 is good enough.
