    I personally use AI to help me with my work. I used to work in an IT repair facility where I would use an LLM to help me troubleshoot problems. For example if a computer won’t turn on and the motherboard is flashing and beeping, asking an LLM is 10x faster than having to use the internet to hunt for a user manual of one specific model of computer from 40 years ago, made by a brand which no longer exists.

    Now I work in Computer Games Development after getting my degree. AI is extremely useful for helping me come up with ideas, making prototypes, and even generating small amounts of code in C++ and C#, which is what I mainly use. Games Dev isn’t difficult. I can do it myself. But it can be very tedious. That’s why AI is so helpful.

    As for what your little brother does, i’ve experienced that. People generating code and having no idea what it does. It might help you pass your subjects in school, but it’s only gonna screw you over in the long run.

    I don’t mind people using AI to help them with their work as long as they don’t depend on it.

      I don’t understand the down votes on this comment. What you have said seems reasonable

        Probably because it challenges the narrative of people who automatically hate all AI no matter what. I have even had colleagues argue with me that certain types of AI “aren’t actually AI” because they have too much pride and ego to admit they use the very thing they claim to hate.
