The model, called GameNGen, was made by Dani Valevski at Google Research and his colleagues, who declined to speak to New Scientist. According to their paper on the research, the AI can be played for up to 20 seconds while retaining all the features of the original, such as scores, ammunition levels and map layouts. Players can attack enemies, open doors and interact with the environment as usual.

After this period, the model begins to run out of memory and the illusion falls apart.

    Perhaps you could be missing the trajectory of continuous improvement. How long until The Matrix?

      It’s an exponential increase as well and humans are very bad at judging exponential increases they look at something like this and they see no promise in it because they can’t see that four or five iterations down the line (and in the world of AI that could very easily be 3 months) it will be hundreds of times better.
