On one hand employers are telling their employees to use more AI, like their jobs depend on it and in the other hand an educational game dev program is punishing people for using it. I’m not pro-AI, but you’ve got to admit there are some mixed messages going on.
ugh,we’re so fucked
Stupid in, stupid out applies to teaching as well. 🥲

Better they don’t learn anything at all then the lazy ones pass, right?!
I think this is stupid. Ai use is a symptom and can be controlled. But it is helpful when learning to see more advanced work so you learn how it all comes together.
Edit: I think you’re missing the point: the kids who want to make a game and learn are punished by removing this, and the kids who want to slack off aren’t being hurt by cutting corners.
Later on: “I can’t code or figure out code… how did this happen? I took courses and I chose the AI that passed them… why don’t I know the skills they were supposed to teach? “
No reason to look at all this and assume anyone learns anything.
I work in software. Have for 29 years. There will be no one writing software very soon. Like it or not, seems the ship has sailed. The company I work for has a goal of 100% AI generated code within the next 18 months. So might as well give these kids an A, I guess. It’s not going back to the old way.
How soon are we talking? Tons of people reject AI, and they continue making software.
I’m sure even in companies things are going to change, as it’s already not cheaper to make software with AI, not to mention the technical debt they’re building with nobody understanding the code largely produced by AI. Sure, as much as I want it, AI is probably not going to go away completely, but it’s going to swing back hard in the other direction.

Swap AI with humans and this statement continues to be true.
