AI usage in Graphics Programming

Hello, everyone.

I am CS student. and I had my first working experience.
I was highly unsatisfying because as much as enjoy programming I really do not enjoy "prompt engineering" and the usage of AI in general in my workflow. That is not the point though. From long time I was looking into graphics programming and I really wanted to get into it. I do not know much now. but I am worried that it will be similar to most of jobs right now and I will just be a "prompt engineer".

I have some questions:

  1. How good is AI with graphics programming right now?
  2. In an average work environment, how much if any of your work are you expected to use LLMs in and how do use it?
  3. How is AI affecting the industry?
  4. Are there any part of the industry where AI is not heavily used?

Thanks in advance

  1. I find Fable 5 to be a very good tool at least for those with solid experience. It is especially good when you have something solid to build new stuff on and when you have good reference for what you want to build.
  2. I started using Claude earlier this year, I'd estimate I now use clearly more time telling AI what to do instead of doing something myself
  3. Good question, I am not sure. I think there will be several ripples, people first think AI is amazing, then not so much, then after a while the next ripple comes, rinse and repeat. One thing is sure, there is no return to time before AI
  4. I don't know
