It's using an incredibly helpful resource. It isn't about wowing people with your advanced code that no one will care about, but the end result and mechanics that you've made. If you're already a competent coder, ai will act as an enhancer. You mentioned that you had to adjust the code yourself to get it to work exactly how you wanted it to.
To reply to the other fellows in this comment section:
No, it's not at all the same thing as pushing a ball throwing machine, since again, you're not being judged by the quality of your code like a basketball player would be by his ability to shoot 3 pointers. You're being judged by if the game works or not.
Yes, it is ALWAYS helpful to learn more about coding if you have the time. Why not? But if you're not using AI due to feeling bad about it, you're just slowing yourself down. You know enough to make adjustments if needed. I think you're already skilled enough to have AI help you.
Weeks and weeks of time and effort has been cut down to minutes. You have a game to build; absolutely make use of the tools available to speed that process up.
I can understand the why using AI generated art, stolen from artists and the like, may be bad, but darn near ALL code that's on the internet has been put there explicitly so it can be used to help other coders. MOST CODERS copy and paste code directly from stack overflow anyways. If anyone claims otherwise, they are lying to you.
