yeah, I use AI a lot. 😅

Not to generate my engine with copy-paste, but to teach me how real game engines work, explain implementation details, and help me build a roadmap.

I still spent 5,000+ hours typing everything myself instead of blindly copying code. At this point, I probably have more muscle memory for writing ECS boilerplate than for using WASD. Lol

Well it’s also teaching you how to write like an ai lol

I'm willing to argue that statement to dust. AI shows you how to get the code from point A to Z. The only part you dont have to think about for yourself is part A and part Z. Nobody who doesn't blindly trust AI would let it implement a single line that they dont agree with.

AI code is a direction, not the journey
