1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Well, I personally don't give a shit whether something is made by a human or a machine as long as the code is performing well and is readable.

Lucky for you and me both, AI is nowhere near capable of replacing a developer.

Learning new things is still needed, AI is good for mediocre tasks that need no real intelligence, but anything else still needs a human.

Yup. I use AI when I need a "good enough" result. I do it myself when I need an actually good and provably correct result.

For example, for random trivia to settle a dispute, AI is fine. For something at work that will impact a ton of customers, I will double and triple check anything that goes through AI.

So far I've been impressed with what AI can do with coding. I had it write some scripts for me on one of my previous work tasks and it did the majority of the code writing and even majorly assisted the debug process.

And now I'm using it for another task and it's already improved significantly since the last one. You can now interrupt it if if gets stuck in some kind of loop and the required debug phases are fewer. Hell, it's even reading between the lines of my prompts effectively and implemented a verbosity feature in a second script just because I had requested it in the first one.

With the first task, I was holding its hand as far as data structures and such were concerned. This time, I'm instructing it at a higher level. And while it does help that I can understand the code it generates, I said last time that it was good enough to start replacing interns, I think at this point it's ready to start replacing junior programming positions.
