There are decades of campaigns and adventures waiting to be played. I have five campaigns on my shelf, all of them good quality and fit to my tastes. And yet, I still write new campaign material because I actually like making campaigns.
There are three kinds of response to this. First, yes I bloody can, don’t insult me. Second, if it’s too complex to keep track of, it needs to be simplified. Third, none of that has anything to do with creating a campaign, you’re just trying to redirect the conversation from AI taking the fun part away.
Reasoned: Obviously, you’d abstract the swarm to something manageable, as per my second point.
Informed: A swarm of insects is defined in the SRD as having 22 hit points.
Cautious: I wouldn’t trust an LLM to track hit points better than me.
Pedantic: Tracking hit points is not part of campaign creation.
Aggrieved: You listed NPCs as one of the non-fun parts?!
Defiant: There ARE no non-fun parts!
Suspicious: There’s a lot of basic DM knowledge and experience you seem to lack for someone offering DM advice.
Accusatory: You are STILL deflecting.

Why would I give the fun part to a machine?
Because it can keep track of inventory items, NPCs, environmental assets and flock hit points if fighting a million insects and you can’t.

Bro there’s literally no way you can keep track of the hit points of a million insects.
Also the point is that it takes care of the non fun parts.
Once again, several kinds of response.

Informed: A swarm of insects is defined in the SRD as having 22 hit points.
Cautious: I wouldn’t trust an LLM to track hit points better than me.
