I asked ChatGPT to make me a commander deck. The results are not surprising.
I primed Chat by asking it to make me a deck built around Lyzolda, the Blood Witch with a focus on token generation and sacrificing creatures.

Remember to adjust the decklist based on your preferences, available cards, and playgroup dynamics. Have fun building and playing your Lyzolda deck!"
Some notes:
This is not a legal commander deck. It has too few cards, and some cards do not fit Lyzolda's color identify.
The synergies a mixed bag. Some cards fit perfectly into the theme, like Endrek and Krenko, or Ashnod's and Phyrexian altars. Other's don't work as well, since Myr Battlesphere creates colorless tokens that don't jive with Lysolda's ability.
I want to play a match with ChatGPT generated decks to see how silly it gets.
Anyone else try this? Have your results been better (or worse)?
@Shyfer@TerrificTadpole I suggest you are allowed to add basic lands to make the deck functional (doesn't have to be 100 cards, aim for the best ratio of lands)
I remember MTGGoldfish did this a few episodes back too and iirc they had to ask ChatGPT 3 or 4 times and it still never made a legal list.
I would never use AI to make a deck when EDHRec exists - you're better off just using the Average Deck function, though that is just gonna lead you to playing staples too.
