This is still so bizarre to me. I’ve worked on 3D rendering engines trying to create realistic lighting and even the most advanced 3D games are pretty artificial.

Yeah. And it’s not just how good the images look it’s also the creativity. Everyone tries to downplay this but I’ve read texts and those videos and just from the prompts there is a “creative spark” there. It’s not very bright spark lol but it’s there.
I should get into this stuff but I feel old lol. I imagine you could generate interesting levels with obstacles and riddles and “story beats” too.
