Hi everyone,
Following up on the discussions around our Humans vs AI theme, I wanted to open a deeper debate on how we approach creation when tools like Google Genie 4 start generating environments and realities in real-time.
Some voices in our community have rightly expressed skepticism—pointing out the risk of falling into a chaotic "dream logic" where infinite generation replaces actual design, joking that it feels like building a house with no doors or windows and calling it avant-garde architecture.
The core question for this jam isn't whether we let the AI build everything, but who holds the blueprint. If the machine generates the corridors, the creator becomes the storyverse architect—the one who decides where the walls stand, where the doors open, and what the player is actually forced to confront.
I put together a short video exploring this shift from traditional asset-making to architectural curation with generative models:
How are you balancing emergent/generative elements with strict structural design in your entries for this jam? Are you leaning into the chaos, or tightening the walls?
Let’s discuss.
