If I wrote some code, maybe to script a scene, and then asked another coder friend to look at it, and see if i they could improve the code to make it more effcient, and my friend showed me a more simplistic way to do it and gain some cpu cycles, is that cheating? I would be learning a lesson, like every other coder does to improve, from asking a friend to even working the google machine to see if anyone else has run into some similar issue and found a decent solution. I mean learning is seeing and watching what other's do. Everyone learns from their own mistakes, and are forever striving to be better. And if my friend showed another friend my same non efficent code and that friend improved on it better, and I was sent the final code... even though relying on friends or searching forums, and posting questions can be annoying to the forum police... It does not matter what question you ask, the forum police just linger waiting to jump on someone for asking a question they know the answer to but instead of posting a helpful response instead they post "quit wasting peoples time and google it!" But then there are the more kinder people, who knew the struggle to find the answer and are more than happy to help. If my friends who helped me with my coding needed my help, I would obviously lend a hand to the extent of what I know. But if by asking for their help when they are working on their own project's, and the time I took away from their development to help me would make me down right guilty. But they are friends and are more than willing to help... and I owe them a favor. I think of myself as a very talented modeler with blender. Now... even though that code I needed help on was team effort now, and we posted it to DeepSeek and DeepSeek came back with far more efficient code that we never figured out and now learned from.. and we all said "WOW!" that code was better than the team! I would say now. @Magicsofa for saying "First of all, you should definitely be judged by the quality of your code, and 10x more harshly if you're letting AI do it for you." Are you serious??? are you one of those selfrighteous coder's who knows everything and judges everyone else by your shear knowledge? And @Josh's Junk Drawer to say "If you use AI to make games you're a lazy hack and a plagiarist. Do it the right way, learn how to code for yourself." Trust me, I'm no lazy hack. And as for a plagiarist? Using a friends code, or AI's is very helpful. You learn from better coder's regardless if they are human's or not.
