Topic: Will Genie replace all video games?
+Anonymous A — 11 months ago #66,257
Google made an AI that can generate any type of game in a playable world that responds to normal PC keys.https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/genie-2-a-large-scale-foundation-world-model/
Why would anyone play any other game when Genie can be anything?

Real-time fever dream simulator—in other news, an actual LSD Dream Emulator. Are there any sounds generated on-the-fly yet?(Edited 5 minutes later.)

It can keep scores accurately and create real puzzles, so it's more than a fever dream.

Is it usable now?

I've played a basket full of RPGs over the years and I can say that the random dungeon generator ones were my least favorite. So bland and repetitive. I feel this will be similar.
I don't think "going indie" to avoid it will be the answer either - they seem to use crutches like these the most (Unity and such).

@OP
I doubt it'll replace all video games. If anything it'll streamline production in terms of prototyping. Rather than creating simple assets or purchasing prefabs with the purpose of prototyping and iteration. Teams can just write out the prompts, generate a near approximation of the concept they're working(visuals, mechanics, etc) and then proceed to the production phase where they'd produce original assets and fine tune the idea.
Where I can see this going wrong is you might have some people experiencing the dunner-kruger effect and open steam accounts with the intention of selling early access AI-generated slop. I wish people learn to use AI as a tool to help reach their ideas faster than a crutch to replace actual handwork and skill.

> IS IT USABLE NOW? YES OR NO?
NO.
"DeepMind didn’t detail how it trained Genie 2 other than to state it relied “on a large-scale video dataset.” Don’t expect DeepMind to release Genie 2 to the public anytime soon, either. For the moment, the company primarily sees the model as a tool for training and evaluating other AI agents, including its own SIMA algorithm, and something artists and designers could use to prototype and try out ideas rapidly."
