A very very senior game developer recently told me how he is changing specialization because AI is much better than him at what he does already.
I asked him if it was just the speed and mass of code, to which he replied that Claude 5 Fable/Mythos is just so advanced, it comes up with solutions he would never have thought of, not even requiring good prompts anymore.
He further said in some areas like Unity it's not perfect yet, but improving drastically.
Honestly this is pretty different to what I read in many articles regarding AI code.
They mentioned errors, bad performance & such.
However if it is already used in production and he as a professional evaluating it, is saying it's better than him...
That same day I also talked to somebody that got hired to train an LLM. His interview was with that companies chatbot, that offered him over 120$ per hour, a roughly 500% increase from his previous job š¤£
I think generative coding has a massive wealth of methods and code samples to pull from, but it still requires minding to stay in task, remain consistent, and not introduce security issues.
The devs I have talked to say their job is more minding the bots and interpreting their code into the project and less writing the code themselves
