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.

    Yes it’s completely different. “No code” is actually all code just written graphically instead of with words. Every instruction that is turned into CPU instructions has to be drawn on a flowchart. If you want the “no code” to add A + B, you had to write A+B in a box on the flowchart. Have you taken a computer class? You must know what a flowchart is.

    This Doom was done by having a neural net watch Doom being played. It then recreates the images from Doom based on what it “learned”. It doesn’t have any code for “mouse click -> call fire shotgun function” Instead it saw that when someone clicked the mouse, pixels on the screen changed in a particular way so it simulates the same pixel pattern it learned.
