In rebuttal to her argument, AI is likely to be the future of many industries including coding. It's just that the current implementation of "AI" using large language models isn't actually AI.

She is wrong, most studios already are using AI to speed up coding.

As happens with drawing, AI doesn't do your job: it does some imperfect thing, that you later as a draft that you have to tweak or fix to solve imperfections or adapt to your preferences.

By doing that you code what you wanted way faster than if you had to code everything. Same goes with artists, CMs, localization, etc.

It speeds up stuff.

AI is just fancy Excel.
Sure, you can use it to keep track of birthdays, but used by a pro, in the right way, it's an industry changing tool.

True, I didn't watch the video.

I replied to the "I didn't believe AI was the future of coding. I was right" thread title and "More AI hype dies" text of the youtube thumbnail.

If they are clickbait lies is their fault, not mine.

Imagine trying to disagree with an argument you have not heard, then act like a know it all around the forum. 😂

Machine learing is NOT ai. It has been marketed as such, but still isnt.

Even just keeping track of birthdays is a life changing feature.

Never again will I be subjected to the world shattering shame as a discord community wishes me a happy birthday, while I fall to my knees in a walgreens with the realization that I don't know a single other person's birthday.

Increases amount of code. Quality, not so much. As any actual coder would have warned you years ago.

And as models crawl the web and find more AI generated code, the quality stands to get worse.
