Google Genie 3: The End of Gaming as We Know It?

Google Genie 3, developed by Google DeepMind, uses generative AI to turn sketches into playable 3D worlds, potentially revolutionizing gaming and offering therapeutic benefits for PTSD. The technology, trained on 200,000 hours of video, learns the rules of 3D space and movement without traditional game code. It allows users to create immersive environments from personal sketches or photos, though it is currently limited by resolution, frame rate, and access. The innovation has caused significant disruption in the gaming industry, with major players like Unity and Roblox seeing their stock prices drop. Despite these challenges, Genie 3 presents a future where imagination and AI combine to create limitless gaming experiences.
