I love article titles and my imagination as I thought someone made an actual clicking game with on the fly generated content through DALL E :)

Makes me ponder what kind of video games an _advanced_ AI could create on the fly.

People talk about the impact of DALL E on art, but what if it goes _further_? How complex of an RPG world could an AI build around a player?

To the naysayers; decades ago it was impossible for a computer to display images like the ones DALL E makes. For a good chunk of computer history even holding these image bytes in memory would have been a feat.

Timelines aside, it’s fun to ponder about.

AI dungeon is neat, but it isn't really like playing an RPG (pen and paper or computer). First off, the AI mostly tells the story you imply. Second, there's no mechanical game-play, it is all story.

It is an interesting glimpse into the future, though.

There would be all kinds of repeated actions, obtaining counter-intuitive objects to get past obscure guards in a way that doesn't quite make sense.

I know this because our best (not sarcasm) humans have done the same thing for years.
