Your were born to code without any help. You did not need to read a book about the subject, hell watching a youtube tutorial about the subject mae you laugh because you knew it all before you clicked on the link. Never a help from friend's who also coded... nope.. you understood the meaning from the very start, and lesser being's may someday understand the meaning.. given time. But for now.. your it, codeJesus.

This is getting truly bizarre... I never implied such a thing, you are just conjuring this image out of nowhere. I don't necessarily have to be good at a thing to say that you are bad at it. Keep it real, you made statements that directly show your disinterest in learning:

I mean, if you have an idea you want to implement and your not shure what to do, you could ask a fellow coder for assistance, but then they might scratch their head also while your scratching your's to figure out how to do the thing you want. Then you both work on it, trial and error and a week or so goes by and you figure out some method that works, but the time it took to come up with a solution took away time from the rest of the games development and not only for you, but kept your fellow coder's time away from what they were working on.

I was not about to ask a friend coder to help me on that. That's a lot of math and angles, and most important TIME. could take day's, maybe a week or two.

So i turned to deepseek AI, and i told it exactly what i wanted, and in around 20 seconds or less, it posted the code i needed to do it. That code needed ajustment from me, with my added code it worked flawlessly and efficiently, and it even recomended way's to make it more efficient like pooling the instantiated objective icons and a lot more info I did not think about.

God forbid you would scratch your head, be forced to learn about "a lot of math and angles", or have to read for more than "20 seconds or less" about how to make programs efficient. If you hate the idea of doing that stuff, that's OK. It would be ridiculous to expect everyone to want to be a programmer. But if people start using AI output and then declaring themselves programmers, that's an issue. It is also an issue if you are fed answers from other people, or copy and paste all the time... when faced with an actual problem you will fall apart.

I made the comparison to basketball as a general answer to the question, is AI cheating. The example doesn't apply to your case exactly because as you said, you only used the AI for this one problem. But let me ask you this. Is it cheating if a basketball player uses the Auto-Shot machine for ten percent of their shots? One percent? Is it OK for a pro player to cheat on just one shot? Is it OK to steal as long as you only do it sometimes?

What happens when the AI does become extensive enough that you can just say "make me a game"? I'll tell you what happens: your development career ends right then and there. Why would I ever play your game if I can just generate my own faster than you can even begin to share yours?
