"Google has just started rolling out access to its new "experimental research prototype" Project Genie, an AI tool powered by Genie 3 and Gemini that allows users to create interactive, explorable worlds with a simple text prompt. Unsurprisingly, someone has immediately used it to generate a bunch of playable Nintendo knock-offs, including a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild clone, complete with a usable paraglider."
"While it might not be immediately apparent in the videos that Peters provided, these Project Genie AI-generations are partially interactive, allowing users to move, jump, and, in the case of that Breath of the Wild one, even paraglide. For the time being, the worlds that it generates are limited to minute-long, 24fps, 720p showcases. So, how is this legal? The short answer is that it isn't, and Project Genie knows it isn't."
Project Genie combines Genie 3 and Gemini to generate interactive, explorable game worlds from simple text prompts. Early access users produced playable reproductions of major Nintendo titles, including Super Mario 64 and a Breath of the Wild clone with a functional paraglider, plus unusual Metroid mash-ups. Generated worlds are partially interactive but currently constrained to roughly one-minute, 24fps, 720p showcases. The system enforces restrictions: it blocked further Mario reproductions and halted near-Kingdom Hearts generation, citing third-party content interests, highlighting immediate copyright and enforcement risks.
