Ah yes, Elon Musk has decided that video games are the next frontier for his empire of chaos. Because why let people enjoy handcrafted worlds made by actual artists when you can have an algorithm spit out a procedurally generated wasteland of “immersive AI creativity” that looks like an acid trip in Unreal Engine?
xAI’s grand plan is to create “world models” — AIs that can simulate real physics, dynamic environments, and complex interactions. Translation: Musk wants his AI to generate games that build themselves, play themselves, and probably insult you in the process. After all, who needs game designers when you have a neural network that thinks “fun” means watching two polygons merge into a black hole of existential dread?
And of course, Musk claims this will all arrive by the end of 2026. You know, right after the robotaxi network, the Mars colony, and the Cybertruck hover mode. But sure, let’s believe the man who can’t even ship a windshield wiper without a firmware update will suddenly revolutionize gaming physics.
By the time this “AI-generated game” drops, expect a procedurally generated plot about a billionaire genius saving the world from lazy human developers — probably voiced by Musk himself, autotuned to sound like if HAL-9000 joined a TED Talk. And if that’s not dystopian enough, his other project “Grok Imagine” will apparently make an AI movie. Can’t wait for the first 3-hour cinematic experience about how misunderstood billionaires are, written entirely by ChatGPT’s evil twin.
So yes — the future of gaming, according to Musk, is a self-playing sandbox where no one actually makes or enjoys anything. Just code observing code. The “next great game,” built by AI, for AI, and reviewed by AI. Humanity can sit this one out.
