The strategy RPG Disgaea procedurally generates "item world" levels based on items in your inventory and their stats. Sometimes this creates hugely complex and impractical maps, other times...

Procedurally-generated "Um, actually..." posts.

The podcast The F-Plus, which is usually dedicated to reading weird poo poo they find on the internet like a modern version of the classic Awful Link of the Day, did their latest episode about reading scripts generated by Botnik. Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash is pretty good but I think the procedurally-generated West Wing episode is my favorite. "But that's not going to be something the American president of America will sign in America! This is boring to me. Donna! Donna. Donna. Donna? Donna?! Donna, help Donna help Donna, help Donna."

It's easy to forget that ELIZA was created in the mid-60s. One of the best arguments against the transhumanist singularity dorks is the simple fact that things like AI and speech recognition have been stagnant for decades even with the exponential growth of computing power and memory.

Nice to see Sumotori Dreams is getting a rhythm game spinoff.

I don't know how authentic this is (especially considering that Neil Cicierega is apparently behind it) but procgen Goosebumps covers are good.

GBS has also been loving with a procgen manga coloring algorithm with wonderful results.

Retro gaming people are going buckwild about this new image resizing deep learning AI called ESRGAN that can basically do the "computer, enhance" thing for real by being trained on huge pools of images to figure out what should go where when an image is resized and the missing info needs to be filled in.








An entire gallery of similar upscaling applied to different Sierra adventure games

Kings Quest V backgrounds were digitally scanned acrylic paintings, so it makes sense that the good images retain that look.

I was wondering why some people had missing arms, then I remembered that those were animated, so that would be a separate image drawn on afterwards.

Yeah, ESRGAN is built primarily around algorithmically generating the data that is lost in image compression so it works really well at upscaling art assets that were compressed like that; the textures in Quake and the monsters in Doom would probably work well with it too. If you feed actual pixel art or clean flat colors like Steamed Hams it doesn't actually do very much because there's no missing data to fill in.
