For the record I don’t use AI to generate my production code but I did use AI to help me learn a shader technique a while ago when I got stuck and ChatGPT was really useful in suggesting ways to make it work, and by allowing me to ask questions on each section. I would use it again.
Should I avoid using that shader technique in the competition?
There are professional devs who now code with CoPilot, and some of them don’t even consider it AI code any more than artists think of the content aware fill as AI, because they’re reading and adapting or curating the AI code apparently, or whatever it is they think that separates them from machines - I really don’t know, it takes me longer to read bad code than to write bad code so I never tried copilot!
But ultimately, we are just a machine doing the toil necessary to satiate the ever growing hunger of the corporate masters doing the work of many in the pursuit of efficiency, we’re just a machine with a meat bag casing. That ain’t special, the Dinosaurs tried it before us and where are they now? Anyway, as long as there is a law demanding people wear seatbelts there will be people protesting that it takes away their freedom, but the only real freedom is to be a corporation - to be the machine that consumes the production of the machines.
Well blast, I guess I’m leaning toward a cyberpunk aberation entry…
