微軟新遊戲AI模型「Muse」亮相!即時生成遊戲畫面 卻引爆玩家正反論戰

Yahoo25-02-2025
近幾年各大企業發展 AI 技術,就連遊戲產業都陸續開始應用與展示概念,像是微軟在 2024 年 5 月,以自家《Minecraft》為例,展示了可以進行即時對話與反應的 AI,提供攻略與指令來幫助玩家。而日前,微軟發表了一款名為「Muse」的全新 AI 模型,展示了它能用在生成電子遊戲畫面與動作的全新技術,但公開後社群評價則是十分兩極化。
知名遊戲媒體人 Geoff Keighley 日前在社群平台 X 上分享了一段由 Muse 生成的遊戲畫面,雖然看上去仍有些模糊,距離實際應用仍有一段距離,但已可清楚辨識角色動作、招式及敵人等,皆由 AI 運算而成。這些展示影片內容,AI 都是以 Ninja Theory 開發的多人對戰遊戲《嗜血邊緣》(Bleeding Edge)作為訓練素材。

微軟遊戲 AI 部門副總裁 Fatima Kardar 表示:「我們已將 Muse 應用於開發即時可玩的 AI 模型,且這項技術在未來有望同時造福玩家與遊戲開發者。」微軟也透露,Muse 目前仍處於早期開發階段,更多相關細節預計於 2025 年的遊戲開發者大會(GDC)上公布。
對於 AI 生成遊戲,社群反應不一。支持者認為,這有助於中小型團隊甚至獨立開發者減輕負擔,只需專注於程式碼、玩法設計等核心元素,其餘畫面與動作可交由 AI 生成,若價格合理,將大幅降低開發風險。
然而,反對者認為目前 Muse 展示的畫面缺乏靈魂,並擔憂可能取代大量遊戲美術與動畫師的工作。有玩家表示:「微軟只是想用 AI 取代開發人員」、「為什麼微軟不『生成』一些第一方獨佔遊戲」、「乾脆讓 AI 取代高層」、「科技公司正試圖抹煞藝術中的人性」、「這畫面看起來比獨立開發者 24 小時內做出的 Game Jam 作品還糟」。

Microsoft Slashes 9,000 Jobs While Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Poaches $20 Million Worth Of AI Talent From OpenAI: Investor Warns Of 'Jealousy, Envy, And Helplessness' Among Tech Workers In Silicon Valley

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) cut 9,000 jobs in its second 2025 layoff round while Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) and OpenAI ignite a talent war with compensation packages reaching $20 million annually, creating stark contrasts in Silicon Valley's artificial intelligence landscape. What Happened: The layoffs affect less than 4% of Microsoft's workforce across diverse teams and regions as the company maintains cost controls while investing $80 billion in AI data centers this fiscal year. Microsoft's gaming division, including Candy Crush parent King, eliminated 200 positions, marking the company's continued workforce reduction following 6,000 cuts in May.

Back a bold new approach to cancer treatment with high-growth potential. Meanwhile, Meta's aggressive talent acquisition has sparked unprecedented compensation inflation. Deedy Das, an AI investor at Menlo Ventures, told Business Insider that three machine-learning engineers at OpenAI and Anthropic received offers between $8 million and $20 million annually from Meta. 'There's a ton of ripple effects I'm hearing in the Valley,' Das said, describing widespread 'jealousy, envy, and helplessness' among tech workers not receiving such packages. The bidding war intensified after Meta recruited Scale CEO Alexandr Wang in a $14.3 billion deal and poached six star researchers from OpenAI for its new Meta Superintelligence Labs. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed Meta offered $100 million signing bonuses, though Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth dismissed these claims as dishonest during a company meeting. Why It Matters: Roy Bahat of Bloomberg Beta noted the talent shortage drives extreme valuations, with only approximately 2,000 researchers capable of building foundational AI models globally. 'In my 20 years in tech, I have never seen as clearly defined a market for extraordinary talent,' Bahat said. The competition extends to universities, where companies pressure Ph.D. interns to abandon studies. 'They're pressuring them to drop out of school,' said Bill Aulet of MIT's Martin Trust Center for Entrepreneurship. Companies argue AI advances are happening so rapidly that graduation delays could cost career-defining opportunities. Microsoft's third quarter revenue of $70.07 billion, up 13% year-over-year, and Azure's 33% growth demonstrate continued AI demand despite workforce reductions.

Lunit partners with Microsoft to develop AI cancer diagnostic tools

South Korean AI company Lunit is collaborating with Microsoft to help bring its AI-powered diagnostics for cancer detection into clinical practice. According to Lunit, the partnership aligns with its vision to create AI tools that fit smoothly into everyday clinical care. The collaboration will involve Lunit and Microsoft's development of a tool for customising AI models that will be embedded into Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, thereby allowing Lunit users to customise their AI models using site-specific clinical data. Lunit adds that the approach will mitigate cross-site model performance variability, which it views as a key hurdle in the deployment of AI diagnostics in real-world clinical settings. The developer also plans to use Microsoft's agentic AI frameworks, which are designed to support intelligent task automation, to develop workflow automation tools. According to Lunit, these solutions will simplify clinical decision-making and improve operational efficiency for its AI cancer diagnostic tools. Lunit's AI tools include the SCOPE HER2 algorithm for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) biomarker evaluation in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients undergoing HER2-targeted therapy, and INSIGHT DBT for identifying breast cancer in mammogram images. Lunit CEO Brandon Suh commented: 'Our collaboration with Microsoft enables us to bring our AI to more providers through trusted platforms like Microsoft Azure, helping us expand access in the US and beyond.' According to GlobalData analysis, the use of AI across healthcare is rapidly advancing, with the market projected to reach a valuation of around $19bn by 2027. Radiology has emerged as one of the most common areas in which AI is being applied – chiefly as a means to drive efficiencies and glean insights that humans evaluating radiologic images could miss. Naveen Valluri, general manager of health and life sciences data and AI at Microsoft, commented: 'With Microsoft Azure, we are shaping an ecosystem that supports partners like Lunit in delivering scalable AI innovations. 'By combining our infrastructure with clinical-grade AI developed in close collaboration with leaders like Lunit, we're accelerating the development of integrated solutions for radiology and beyond.'
