The article above discusses Microsoft's reveal of a new AI-generated demo that is heavily inspired by Quake II. The demo was supposed to showcase advanced AI capacities, but according to the author of the article, he mentioned the demo ran poorly, so bad that it was compared to playing the original Doom on a basic calculator, but worse. 

The demo shows off a location similar to what you'd see in Quake II, but using AI, they then create enemies and gameplay visuals on the fly. I guess someone worked really hard on this too. But if this is a sign of things to come, I'm a big worried. To me, their intent sounds like they want to AI to just produce the games for them. Or that's the point they want to get to. 

And to be fair, AI has been used forever in gaming. And I think this type of AI can be used to improve upon games, but I do have worries that they will rely too much on these type of AI tools to make their games. What do you guys think though?

The article raises valid concerns about Microsoft’s AI-generated demo. While AI has potential in enhancing gaming, over-reliance could hinder creativity and quality. Balancing AI assistance with human input is crucial to avoid diminishing game experiences.
