Hi everyone,
I came across an article on Microsoft experimenting with AI recently and thought that I might make a quick post about it, given our discussions around AI in gaming.
Microsoft recently released an AI gaming model called Muse AI that “can dynamically create gameplay visuals and simulate player behavior in real-time”, which, in simpler terms, generates playable environments through AI without using a game engine.
Using this model, Microsoft recreated a classic game called Quake II that players can try online. Microsoft’s model drew criticism and sparked conversations around the use of AI in gaming. For example, one Bluesky user pointed out that the generated frames are not permanent and changes every time the player looks at the floor. Others criticize the low framerates and blurry textures. Further, the demo reportedly took an enormous amount of electricity to produce, which is another issue with AI that often sparks debate.
For those who are interested, you can try the demo here: https://copilot.microsoft.com/wham
What are your thoughts about the demo? Have you played the original Quake II? How does Microsoft’s demo compare and what might this say about the future of how AI is used in games?
