Weekly AI Favorites: Google DeepMind’s Genie 3 Hands-On
After months of hype, Google DeepMind’s Genie 3 is out— a real-time world simulator that’s turning generative AI into interactive, playable environments. No more static videos; this generates dynamic worlds from text or images, perfect for no-code creators exploring virtual production, game prototyping, and AI filmmaking.
In this standout video, the creator dives deep: stress-testing prompts from NYC street views to comic book worlds, probing object permanence (Elden Ring vibes), and tweaking physics on the fly. Plus, an exclusive chat with the DeepMind team on the tech behind it, cut features, and the roadmap to Genie 4’s reality simulation.
Key takeaways for no-code/low-code folks:
- Text-to-World & Image-to-World: Easy prompting for custom environments—no dev skills needed.
- Workflow Wins: Use it for quick virtual sets or idea validation in creative projects.
- Limits & Future: Current interactivity is solid but evolving; integrates with tools like Veo for seamless AI pipelines.
