Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Project Genie evades all that and handles these building blocks itself, but remember that it doesn't actually build games, per se. When you ask it to make a clone of Super Mario 64, it will dupe it rather impressively, but all you get is basic movement with a free camera that can look around the map. There are no objectives, and the AI often forgets what it has already generated when filling in gaps.

Lmao

Traditional video game making is dead now!

Well, maybe some of the AAA stuff should be worried...

There will come a point when AI helps massively in creating games. But It will take quiet a while until we can use this to play a game.

I guess this will eat up a huge amount of calculation power which now player wants to pay to play it regularly.

Honestly it's probably nice to have an AI generate "basic_bench_53". And like everything else with AI, this won't replace art design, but it will help them accelerate some menial and boring tasks.

And that's exactly what AI is good for: make the boring stuff faster, so you can invest your time into the important and fulfilling parts of your job.

I see AI Tools like you. but there are also a lot of people who like to do boring easy tasks…

I don't really know what's impressive about ripping assets and then cloning them into a basic game engine.

[–] Strayce 8 points 23 hours ago

It's not even really a game engine. More like a 60 second interactive hallucination.

give it a year though

Yeah righto, I bet it’s still rubbish

I mean if you make your whole identity around hating something, then you're obviously going to hate it no matter what.

Same could be said with people hyping something.

This tech might be good for tripping on shrooms, but as with other applications it is being forced on, lacks the planning and stability to be useful yet.

One year is overéy optimistic. Maybe 5 - 10.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

The rate of improvement every few months has been absolutely incredible. Given we already have open source stuff like this, 5-10 years seems rather pessimistic. But even that isn't really that long of a time frame in the grand scheme of things.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe, you could pay no attention to it at all and it’d still be rubbish in a year

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 18 hours ago

Yup, absolutely no visible progress happening with this tech.
