I'm impressed. But I want it to be better, so I don't have to spend so much time coding and can trust it to give me good code so I can offload a lot of my efforts on to it. Right now I have to check and verify or go back and forth with prompts so much I almost would have been better off writing the damn code in the first place. Meanwhile I've got a backlog of about 100 personal projects I've never gotten around to making (especially creating digital versions of my board game designs, of which I have about 70 at this point) that I just haven't had the energy to work on myself, that I'd love to be able to just upload the rules document for it and get some sort of working game spit out the other end, or at least a good chunk of it, and I can take it from there. And then I can test a new rule by just rewriting the rules document, as opposed to having to manually code every rule change into the game. I don't think I'd run out of things for it to make if it was as good at complex software generation as A.I. is right now with art generation.

Do you find AI to be good with art generation? I can't use any of the art in the projects that I do without extensive inefficient editing since the stuff it spits out isn't how a human would draw. It's good for concept browsing, but not much more for me at the moment.

  I haven't messed with it much since I find the process for the 'good one' (Midjourney) annoying (go onto a Discord channel, type your request in public for a bunch of people, wait a while, hunt for it amongs the long channel of requests, etc). I'm assuming the process has gotten better since, but I don't know. I'm mostly just using free vector art and simple colors/shapes or whatever simple things I can make in Blender for my art still, in part because there's such a backlash against using any A.I. art right now. Most of it is judging by what people have been saying in groups online. Some people have found it very useful and use it extensively, like for their board game art. It doesn't even have to get 100% of the way there (for coding games based on rulesets). Even 75% would probably save me a lot of time and allow me to find the energy to close the gap as opposed to not even starting since I have so many other projects going on.
