Forget dumping games designers for AI – turns out it takes two to tango

AI can get pretty good at creating content like images and videos, so researchers are trying to get them to design game levels. Machines are okay working on their own and can regurgitate the same material seen in the numerous training examples fed by its human creators. It's fine if what you're after is more of the same thing, but that's boring for games. Game designing bots need more creativity and the best place to learn is off humans. A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology conducted a series of experiments where humans partnered up with bots to come up with new levels in Super Mario, a popular Nintendo platform game.
