"This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions." Quack!
I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.' New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.
Metallica works, Slipknot doesn't, Iron Maiden does, Nirvana doesn't. Aperture Science works, so does Black Mesa (the proposed opponent, hehe), Cyberdyne Systems doesn't, Vault-Tec does, Weyland-Yutani also works. Studio Ghibli doesn't work, Toei Animation does, so does Production I.G. and KyoAni. Akagi works, JoJo doesn't but JoJo Bizarre Adventure does (so does Joseph Joestar, and it knows Dio Brando is the opponen…

Why aren't you working on curing cancer?
I don’t think what he works on burns a bunch of energy for nothing though.

Let's hope he is not the guy that checks the tickets for a roller coaster. They just send people from A to A using an ineficient path that burns a bunch of energy.
First thing I've seen from Google that gives me that old "Google" feeling of them shipping something cool and fun.
I agree it is cool and fun and nice to see. But the investment here seems minimal. Preexisting image generation capabilities (with a link to Imagen-3...) plus some "prompt engineering" slapped on top of https://github.com/josefjadrny/js-chess-engine .

It also doesn't seem to let you generate chess sets inspired by many political figures or other popular names. While you can't generate a Kamala Harris inspired chess set, you also can't generate a Bob Ross inspired chess set...
Wait is this just an image generator? Am I missing something really cool here?
Look how easily they just fabricated 100% of a game's assets, with a consistent, high quality style, and then put them right into the game environment. That's the takeaway IMO. Very tight GenAI loop.
The time it takes to generate a set is also significant, as a web-dev this takes for ever, and I would be very reluctant to offer this experience to my users. Doesn’t feel fluent, nor tight at all.
Plus a silly mistakes like the knights facing the wrong way, different sizes, etc. Seeing this, I certainly hope game designers (at least in online chess) will stay away from generative AI, for a while at least.
I‘m confused. What is this and why is it impressive? It feels like I‘m playing chess at a bar that has mixed peaces 6 different sets and I‘m forced to sit at an angle from the board because of space limitations inside the bar, but without the benefit of having a fun bar chat with my opponent during the game.
They're showcasing 3d sprite generation capability; it's pretty big for game-dev, if it also generalises well.
