Google has just started rolling out access to its new “experimental research prototype” Project Genie, an AI tool powered by Genie 3 and Gemini that allows users to create interactive, explorable worlds with a simple text prompt. Google’s new world AI model tool let me generate a bunch of Nintendo-inspired games. The short answer is that it isn’t, and Project Genie knows it isn’t. Project Genie generated an AI-generated mock-up featuring Donald Duck, Sora, Cloud, and Jack Skellington before the process was cut off at the world generation stage. I would have absolutely loved to have seen the resulting AI platform vs. AI platform legal battle that may have spawned out of that, considering Disney signed a $1 billion deal to license its characters to OpenAI’s genAI platform.
