Google AI Tool Let Users Make Rip-Off Nintendo Worlds

Google has dropped a new experimental AI called Project Genie, which can create playable worlds that can be explored for around 60 seconds. This technology may not be able to create a fully playable game, but it can apparently emulate some of Nintendo's classic titles.The Verge has shared its hands-on test with Project Genie, which allowed the outlet to create AI-generated worlds that resemble Super Mario 64, Metroid Prime, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, the knock-offs were described as extremely lacking compared to the original titles. The AI prompts can't deliver results as polished as Super Mario 64, an N64 game that came out 30 years ago.Curiously, the report notes that Disney characters were blocked from Project Genie, as demonstrated when the outlet attempted to emulate Kingdom Hearts. It's unclear why Nintendo's characters weren't also blocked from the start. According to The Verge, Google finally restricted Nintendo's characters from Project Genie shortly before the outlet's article was published. GameSpot has reached out to both Nintendo and Google for comment.Continue Reading at GameSpot
