"'Great' and 'AI-generated' are not two adjectives that usually collate in any field, let alone video games. AI-generated video has been advancing at lightning speed, as demonstrated by the recent release of Sora 2 and the Sora social media app, but it's still a long way from being able to make a movie. Video games are more complicated, requiring real-time decision-making and functional constraints. A half-decent playable AI video game within a year sounds far fetched, let alone a great one."
"Elon first announced xAI's ambitions to enter the video game space almost a year ago in a tweet in which he pledged to end the dominance of big corporations in the gaming industry by using AI to make games for his big corporation. xAI would 'make games great again,' he said. Elon's claim that we'll see the first results by the end of next year was made on his retweet of a post from another user who suggested that Grok will be able to dynamically create video games for each player. The post was accompanied by some bad AI-generated video vaguely resembling the look of a Battlefield-style first-person shooter."
Elon Musk announced that xAI's game studio will release a great AI-generated game by the end of next year while also launching Grokipedia. AI-generated video has progressed quickly, yet creating convincing long-form video and interactive experiences remains difficult. Video games require real-time decision-making, coherent world-building, and adherence to functional constraints that current AI systems struggle to meet. Earlier statements pledged to challenge large game companies and "make games great again," and a retweet suggested Grok could dynamically generate games per player, accompanied by poor AI-generated footage. Skepticism centers on quality, soulfulness, and realistic timelines for a truly great AI-made game.
