Doom Running on a Neural Network Is a Surreal Dreamscape
Briefly

Researchers at Google and Tel Aviv University demonstrated that using a generative AI model, Doom can be run effectively, showcasing the power of such technology in gaming.
Harnessing diffusion models, the study reveals a shift from conventional video game engines to AI-driven approaches, producing complex game state updates and visuals.
Although AI-generated, this system exhibits significant capabilities, managing aspects like health, ammo, and enemy interactions, pushing boundaries of gaming technology despite its limitations.
In creating GameNGen, researchers trained on 900 million frames of existing Doom footage, enabling the model to simulate game dynamics and user input in real-time.
