Reply to comment by Just-a-Mandrew in ‘Nothing, Forever’ Is An Endless ‘Seinfeld’ Episode Generated by AI by tinylobsta

I was thinking that AI could make video game development a lot easier by generating objects and environments.

A really well-trained AI can essentially be a dungeon master, coming up with brand new stories or rewriting parts of the plot to match what your character does.

Procedurally generated environments in games is something we have now.

It's something we had in 1984. Seriously, Rescue on Fractalus! gets its name because they used fractal math to generate the landscape on the fly.

Procedurally generated content usually relies on premade content - walls, boxes, floors, buildings that were created by humans. What I'm saying is that AI could make those. And character models, weapon models, etc etc etc. This would free up human time for designing the actual levels and story, fine tuning gameplay, etc.

Borderlands 2 procedurally generates guns based on just some standard elements. There are almost 18 million different variations.
