Super fun to try a playable world model for the first time! I picked a random picture and got ChatGPT to write a game description, then could move within that world. Very laggy and buggy, but very fun to try!

That was terrible. Controls are slow and at times unresponsive. I rode towards a hill that kept getting further away, and tried following a trail that would disappear and reappear. A horse appeared out of nowhere. The terrain detail was hallucinogenic as grass would mutate into different shapes.

That is impressive. The controls are essentially unresponsive, but the fact that it starts with an image and goes from there bodes well for generative game building.
For those wanting to see it in action, the wait times are wildly inaccurate. Wait five or six minutes and you'll probably get through.

I was mildly amused (but not especially surprised) to see that the "Hunter's Vale" initial image includes what's pretty clearly a partial Skyrim HUD compass at the top.

The styles of Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are also dead givaways about their training data. There might also be a whiff of the Witcher 4 demo in one sequence.
The interesting possibility is that all you may need for the setting of a future AAA game is just a small bit of the environment to nail down the art direction. Then you can dispense with the army of workers to place 3D models on the map in just the right arrangment to create a level. The AI model can extrapolate it all for you.
Clearly the days of fiddly level creation with a million inscrutable options and checkboxes in something like Unreal, or Unity, or Godot editors are numbered. You just say what you want and how you want to tweak it, and all those checkboxes and menus are disposable. As a bonus that's a huge barrier to entry torn down for amateur game makers.

while I couldn't test it out (wait time 45min), I'm so insanely jealous. This would make one hell of an Inception style game.
The tech alone of being able to take prefabs and just prompt your way to a world is amazing. Now to get that in blender...

It says 45 min, but you might get lucky. I only waited a couple of minutes before I got to give it a try.
