What are your thoughts on Google’s Project Genie?

Описание: This week, a new generative AI tool from Google let us create bad knockoffs of 3D Nintendo worlds. Project Genie is an experimental research prototype that lets you generate and play games based on prompts — in theory. What our senior reporter Jay Peters tested was very limited, with only 60 seconds of basic movement within a 3D space, capped at 24fps, and hampered by severe input lag. Though Google had some predesigned worlds (they weren’t great), it was way too easy to just create simplistic rip-offs of Nintendo games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Since the Genie 3 model was "trained primarily on publicly available data from the web," we can probably guess that untold numbers of Zelda videos helped to create this uncanny version of Hyrule. Since we started testing this model, Google stopped allowing us to create worlds based on Super Mario 64 due to "interests of third party content providers." That's not surprising, as we imagine Nintendo probably isn't thrilled with how easy it was to make a low-quality dupe of one of its games.
