AAA gaming has a 3 Body Problem that only No Man's Sky can save

Generative AI is the key to creating truly open worlds for everyone.

The problem compounds itself when you think about a game like Rec Room, VR Chat, or Roblox, titles that rely almost entirely on user-created content to keep players interested and coming back regularly. Similarly, Nvidia's virtual characters have already seen massive improvements in just a few months, graduating from what The Verge called"a fairly unconvincing canned demo" to something that "exceeds what I expect from the average denizen in 'The Elder Scrolls' or 'Assassins Creed'." We're at the very beginning of our journey with generative AI, and while it can be scary to some folks — myself included as a journalist — this technology has the potential to substantially positively impact the lives of so many people who will inevitably use it in the future.
