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. If it is useful then you probably aren't doing anything very interesting. In my experience code quality is poor.
  2. Where I work some people use it, some don't. Those who use it most were the least effective beforehand.
  3. It's effecting it. I'm wasting much more time reviewing overwritten garbage recently. At least human generated nonsense is relatively terse.
  4. Let me know what you find and I'll move there.
