I wish researchers would spend more time on using generative models to create level geometry, rather than trying to generate video from scratch. It would be both cheaper and more effective for stable gameplay.

There's so many researchers working in AI now that we can afford to explore all avenues. This probably isn't going to lead to a fully generative AI game engine, but I bet there'll be useful learnings along the way.

I think Ubisoft are leaders in that space. I saw algorithmic generation of New York style geometry for some behind the scenes video for The Division 2.

I wouldn’t be surprised if epic has similar.
