Last week, AI investor Matt Shumer posted AI-generated first-person-shooter footage that was intended to be an impressive glimpse at the future of video games.
“AI games are going to be amazing,” he tweeted in the caption of the 84-second clip.
But instead of demonstrating that the video game industry is about to be revolutionized by the advent of generative AI, the clip drew widespread derision and mockery.
And it doesn’t take long to figure out why: to call the video AI slop carnage would be an understatement. The clip lacks virtually any degree of continuity or cohesion, with entire subway stations and cars popping into existence at random.
“Bro, this looks like s***,” one unimpressed user tweeted in response.
“This is what video games look like to someone who doesn’t play video games,” another user offered.
“Did you watch your own video?” another user implored.
