Note that the image here isn't from the AI project, it's from actual Doom. Their own screenshots have weird glitches including a hit splat that looks like a butt in the image I've seen closest to this one.
And when they say they've "run the game" they do not mean that there was a playable version that was publicly compared to the original. Rather they released short video clips of alleged gameplay and had their evaluators try to identify if they were from the AI recreation or from actual Doom.
Even by the abysmal standards of generative AI projects this is a hell of a grift.
But if you invest now, you can make a game-generating AI a reality! /s
I'm pretty sure that screenshot is from the video. The zombieman has no feet
Possibly fair. I'm pretty sure I've seen that exact screenshot used in other articles about Doom, but I'm not enough of a Doom nerd to be sure.
There's a decent writeup over at Pivot-to-AI that looks at the paper as a whole in more detail.
