Microsoft researchers promise entire game worlds made from AI slop

You mean "threaten", right?

People seem to be missing what this is doing. It's generating video of gameplay based on 10 seconds of actual gameplay. It learns from that and then can make up to 1min of generated gameplay video. It's not actually making game worlds in the sense that you can sit down and play them.....it's generating video.

They can keep it.

This is interesting. As AI continues to mature and advance, I wonder how they will be able to overcome AIs current limitations. I wonder how long it will be until people would even be able to tell if something is AI generated or not. One of the benefits of AI in art is that sometimes it can suggest or generate something that is unexpected, or something that when a human sees it makes them say "why didn't I think of that." Which, I mean, its because you are a human and it is software. Future AI improvment will certainly be interesting.

Also, this sounds pretty good. The guy who programmed it interviewed game developers about what they wanted and needed in game development. Then he created this tool that helps them quickly iterate from a starting point. I hope this can help some studios create games that have actually fun gameplay, because gaming has taken itself almost too seriously in recent years, with many games trying to tell a hidden message instead of just being fun to play.
