Microsoft launched the AI-Generated Earthquake 2 Demo on April 5 and the fans were quick to criticize it on social media. Some shouted out how it does not give any perceived advantage compared to playing the original game while consuming much more energy. Others called it the potential long -term consequences for human developers. Although this specific instance is just a technical demo, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella has said that Muse can generate entire games in the future, which some fear can put dev -jobs at risk.
Fans criticize Microsoft's AI Quake 2 demo for poor performance and developer influence
Many answers pointed out how the AI-generated remake apparently went worse than the decades old original. Fans marked low image speeds and smear between frames that give it away as a clearly AI-generated content. Others suggested that it also does not represent a technological step forward, such as generating something based on the original Earthquake 2 Code still requires someone to make the game manually in the first place. Most of the answers repeat a similar feeling that has been found over previous controversy over AI in play. Industry people also like Baldur's Gate 3 Actor Samantha Béart has said that Generative AI will “destroy” Studiors' reputation, but companies will use it anyway to save money.
Where Microsoft takes Muse from here remains uncertain. It is not the only company that has experimented with generating game sequences or assets with AI either. Earlier this year, Capcom announced that it tested AI in development, although its strategy seems more focused on helping Devs get inspiration rather than doing asset creation for them. But if one thing is certain, many fans are less than enthusiastic about the concept of AI-generated games.
