@eniko A coworker was just showing me a couple videos of the AI minecraft and I gotta say that IF (a big if) we disregard all the issues (ethical and otherwise) with genAI, it does look like a fun experiment to toy with. I could see some artsy atmospheric game implementing mechanics such as these for bizarre oniric segments.
I'd love a game where sometimes the terrain was able to hallucinate itself procedurally that way.

I don't believe for a moment genAI is going to MAKE that game, tho.

@shaperOfDefiance sure, if you ignore the environmental and ethical aspects it'd be great for Fever Dream Simulator 2024 but I feel like that's a pretty niche use case

@eniko Yeah, that's the thing, I think this _looks_ very interesting and it would be incredibly cool if achieved by carefully (surgically, even) applying procedural generation to terrain, with properly herded generation algorithms, in a very limited fashion, for a particular level, with the intention of capturing a specific experience during a concrete moment of the game.

This is not it and this is never going to be it.

@eniko This is in general my posture with genAI, tbh. IF we were to look past all the layers of issues (and I want to be clear: we should NOT look past all the layers of issues) at its core it's an interesting tech demo and that's all there is.
