I like how programmers have a completely different view on AI than artists. Artists usually hate AI and sometimes are scared of it. Programmers (who didn't only copy-paste to begin with) are not really scared of AI, often they use it themselves for specific tasks.

@username7763 Yeah, that's a good take on it. At my job we often have interns who are either artists or programmers. And it's easy to see if somebody is a good artist in advance. But it's difficult to see if somebody is a good progrrammer. And I'm a programmer. And even if programmers seem to make a good job, it's not always the case. The code is sometimes very bad, and it's difficult to work with it. They do some weird things (like "if (condition) { ... } else if (!condition) { ... } else { /* error, invalid state */ }"), name things badly, rely on some specific configuration (which isn't explicitly named) like creating an array of various things, where each element has a specific meaning (so specific parameters would make more sense). But the boss only sees if it works well.
