The second point on your reactions “It’s been done before” is very crucial.

That defeats the point of your argument that “AI generates a game. It comes up with rules for the game”.

No, it doesn’t. It plagiraised the game and pretended to come up with it. It just used a random puzzle game that it had on its training set.

It’s like asking it to write a poem and getting the same exact poem from a random google search. It didn’t come up with it. It just copied it. It’s not as amazing as you say it is.

Also if you look I comments you can see that it’s not even just one game. There are several games that are exactly like that. Which means more probability of having it in a training set.
