Are AI-generated video games really on the horizon?

Another month, another revolutionary generative AI development that will apparently fundamentally alter how an entire industry operates. This time tech giant Microsoft has created a "gameplay ideation" tool, Muse, which it calls the world's first Wham, or World and Human Action Model. Microsoft claims that Muse will speed up the lengthy and expensive process of game development by allowing designers to play around with AI-generated gameplay videos to see what works. Muse is trained on gameplay data from UK studio Ninja Theory's game Bleeding Edge. It has absorbed tens of thousands of hours of people's real gameplay, both footage and controller inputs.
