Try to contain your amazement: Elon Musk has had a terrible idea. The half-trillionaire has taken a break from getting his pet AI—the one that went on a tear and declared itself "MechaHitler" in July—to generate scantily clad anime women to instead muse on its ability to generate a videogame. Musk declared on Monday that his xAI game studio "will release a great AI-generated game before the end of next year". All of these are true things I just wrote. This is the world they have built for us.
If the notion of the gooner Hitler robot generating your videogames doesn't sound great to you, you're in good company: Larian publishing lead and opinionated tweeter Michael Douse was one of the first industry figures to note that maybe Musk doesn't have quite the same grasp on the games industry as the guy he pays to play Path of Exile 2 for him.
