Have you ever wondered about the potential of AI technology like ChatGPT and GPT2? We know it can be used to write research-based essays, theses, short stories, and even design website copy from scratch. Well, brace yourself, because a new creation has just been announced that will allow users to generate classic Super Mario levels using nothing but text prompts. As crazy as that might sound, the developers of “MarioGPT” have harnessed the power of GPT2, trained on the original Super Mario Bros and The Lost Levels, to create a whole new world of Mario levels.
However, don’t expect to jump right into using MarioGPT, as it requires a fair amount of technical and game development knowledge in order to get everything set up and generate functional levels. But, for those curious and capable enough to give it a go, the developers have shared detailed instructions on GitHub for the same.
The instructions even include text prompt samples to give users a better idea of what generates what. For example, “many pipes, many enemies, little blocks, low elevation” will create a significantly more complicated level, while a prompt such as “no pipes, no enemies, many blocks” will result in a whole different kind of level. The developers have also shared an image that breaks down how MarioGPT works, with additional notes on how it is a “fine-tuned version of the distilled GPT2 language model.”
If you’re itching to try out MarioGPT for yourself, be sure to check out the full instructions and setup process as provided by the developers on GitHub. AI is making waves these days, with applications of the same varying from search engines to personal uses. The possibilities are truly mind-boggling, and we can’t wait to see what other amazing creations will be made in the future.
