Comment on Game companies see share prices plummet following the launch of Google's very limited virtual world generator, Project Genie

They’ve already begun to rebound, but with GTA6 allegedly around the corner, this was a pretty good chance to pick up take 2 stock.

That being said, as we can all see, genie 3 is less like a game maker and more like “real time video generation from a base image with limited interaction for 60 seconds” wherein a user can move a camera around and maybe there’s a character that camera is centered on. It’s not anything that’s going to compete with a real video game. There’s no interaction, at best objects can crash into each other, sometimes, while others they act… Strangely. There’s no inputs allowing for any sort of user action other that camera movement and camera focus movement. It will strongly resist deviating from the initial image generation. And the classic AI concept of “everything is uncanny and also changes every time you look at it with no consistency” is there, too. You wanna see a cat that has a different number of legs every time the camera circles around? A boar whose butt is sometimes a head? Go ahead and use this “world explorer”
