I don't think this is true at all assuming you're sufficently directing and vetting and editing the output. it could be true but theres nothing axiomatically true about it.

I consider writing code absolutely the least important part of my job. Architecture and interface definitions are 100 times more important, and I'm much more focused on that now than before

There's that article where the director of Backrooms describes AI art as a visual part of our reality, and a symptom of a wider rot. My first job in 2006, I was writing C++ code in a legacy codebase that went back to 1990. I can't imagine the response to "how does this work" being a collective "idk"

Honestly this is the most reasonable take. Yeah, lots of shitty uses of AI but there are a few exceptions and honestly I don’t blame small devs for at least dipping their toes. It’s the Squares of the world I am worried about. The opportunity to exploit workers and abuse a system is too high.

But its a massive change to everything it touches. We don't know how things are going to develop. Saying "I don't want this and am going to do what I can to navigate around it where possoble" is actually a very reasonable take.

I'm not against AI for programming, but the idea that people who don't use AI to make their games will be left behind is nonsensical. The games I most care about aren't interchangeable, so a game made more efficiently won't make it more appealing. More power to devs who can make great things w/o AI!

How do you think the bubble popping and all those retirees losing their entire savings due to index funds having gone hard for the AI company IPOs is going to impact what a toxic fucking brand AI already is for consumers, and thus its impact on your future sales if you use it?
