Artificial Intelligence Creates Exact Copy of Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 became a much-talked-about game in the gaming world upon its release. Now, the game is back in the spotlight, but this time for a completely different reason. It’s been claimed that OpenAI’s Sora 2 model has created an exact replica of a Cyberpunk 2077 scene using just a single command. The result has both astonished fans and sparked ethical debates in the gaming world.
Recreating Cyberpunk 2077 with Artificial Intelligence
The footage generated by Sora 2 recreates the “Queen of the Highway” mission from Cyberpunk 2077. This short video, produced with just eleven words of command, captures a significant portion of the game’s atmosphere. The footage features Panam Palmer and the Basilisk tank, and most of the details appear to be quite similar to the in-game scene. This demonstrates the potential of AI in replicating games.
Of course, the resulting video isn’t perfect. For example, the tank doesn’t have tracks like in the original game; instead, it’s modeled with wheels. It’s also noteworthy that Panam is shown in a position where she shouldn’t be in the scene. Nevertheless, the result was surprisingly successful in terms of visual integrity and the overall atmosphere of the scene. This raises questions about the growing power of AI.
Industry experts believe that such productions are likely created using reference material from YouTube and similar platforms. Therefore, it’s argued that AI doesn’t create games from scratch, but rather creates scenes by imitating existing content. This further complicates issues of copyright and originality in content creation.
The Cyberpunk 2077 example has become a concerning development regarding the future of AI in the gaming industry for both fans and developers. It remains to be seen how CD Projekt Red will respond to this situation. Furthermore, similar discussions are occurring in other series. For example, the recent patch removed unauthorized AI voices from the Tomb Raider Remastered package. It seems that artificial intelligence technology will continue to be discussed in the gaming world for a long time.
