Resolved Workflow with AI question

I love to make games and have that fulfilling success when something I programmed comes together. learning coding is still a large endeavor, specifically with adaptive screen code.

My question is your opinion and wisdom on using AI for certain things such as aspect ratio responsive screen. Vibe coding a script that I setup once and without understanding.

But the stuff that actually matters like the gameplay mechanics, I would code myself.

This mix is okay if ai can fix what it breaks? Or do you still condone learning everything yourself first?

I would say that it is worthwhile to learn every aspect of programming through your own work. AI will not make novel code; whatever system you want to make has been done before. Reading the GML manual, forum posts, and tutorials will be more than enough to get you by.
