Really? Bcz I do Indie dev, and every use case I've tried produces dogshit. Want to make some textures using AI, they're incoherent. Okay, what about a 3D model? No, also dogshit incoherent garbage... k, well, if I can't do a 3D model with AI, maybe I can just make a run animation... yeah, it will take 3 straight weeks of training data to make a shitty run cycle.

How is any if that useful exactly?

Want to mock up a character design to model?

Want some place holder art that helps set the theme more than programmer art?

Pixel art that requires little alteration to be usable in a final product?

Want someone to help you think out pseudo code on how to approach something?

Want to quickly check your code and get some ideas for refactoring?

Shit want to get an entire function?

Need to fill out el-generico the npcs dialogue about life in town?

Etc.

AI will not do everything for you, but it’s great at assisting in my development and often only requires a little bit of human intervention to be usable. It’s a huge time saver.

I have used ChatGPT to generate code. It literally made up API calls that didn't exist. I'm not sorting through that garbage just to see if it can get the logic sort of right. As for the rest, you're absolute wrong. I've tried to generate textures, pixel art, and 3D assets before, and it's all ended up being nonsensical and useless.

Well I dunno what else to say, I’ve had great experience with all those things in my game dev.

If you're having to"sort" the response you are giving it way too much at once.

Definitely not the code because it's always junk, but I kinda want to use ai other stuff and try to slap it together into a game and make the most polished turd possible
