In my opinion, if a programmer understands what the code does, they can use it. For me, if someone knows how to use AI-generated code and understands what they’re doing, they shouldn’t feel ashamed of using AI in game development. For example, if you use AI to learn a piece of logic or a code snippet, and you’re able to understand it, that’s what really matters.
But if you use AI and don’t understand how the code works or what it does, then you simply don’t know what you’re doing. I use AI to help me understand certain pieces of code, and also to learn the logic behind a game mechanic that I’ve seen.
AI didn’t come to take our jobs, but to help make our work easier. There are many people who struggle to understand code, and AI can help with that.
