Programmer Humor

AAA gamedev here. Had a guy scream at me on here on a different account for several days straight last week that "AI will eventually take your job, too, just wait and see" after I told the guy "all you have to do as an artist is make better quality work than AI slop can produce, which is easy for most professionals; AI is still useful in production pipelines to speed up efficiency, but it will never replace human intuition because it can't actually reason and doesn't have feelings, which is all art is and is what programming requires".

Got told that I was a naive and bad person with survivorship bias and hubris who doesn't understand the plight of artists and will eventually also be replaced, as if I'm not a technical artist myself and don't work with plenty of other artistic and technical disciplines every single day. Like, okay, dude. I guess nearly a decade of senior-level experience means nothing. I swear, my team had tried and tossed away anywhere from 5 to 10 potential "cutting-edge AI production tools" before the general public had even heard about ChatGPT because most of them have such strict limited use-cases that they aren't practically applicable to most things, but the guy was convinced that we had to boycott and destroy all AI tools because every artist was gonna be out of a job soon. Lol. Lmao, even.
