Sorry what? Is there an example of AI recreating a nontrivial, modern game from just video material?

Low complexity, but to test fable 5.2 I gave it this instagram reel of a Kikis delivery service inspired seedance video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXKjMSIkv97/?mdxt=OHBwaW5yamV...
And told it to make a game, and it made: https://petalwake.non.io

I suppose this gets into world models a bit, but I honestly don't know this is a reasonable question. Do you really care to know it was already done or do you care to know if it could reasonably be done if it were the best available way? GP seems to be talking about the latter but you seem to be talking about the former.
It's getting there. Most games are sitting on top of engines that do almost all the heavy lifting, so the AI just has to reverse engineer the assets, gameplay and levels from footage. It can even run the game alongside the clone to see what sort of differences it finds.
