Linus Torvalds uses it. I'd consider him a legitimate developer.

Gotta say... The Playstation debacle and resulting backlash has somewhat changed my mind on AI as a coding tool.

I still don't like it, ethically and economically, but if "they" are going to use it to cut costs and punch down, then we can use it to invalidate them and punch up.

I doubt it will make the next great game or piece of software, but it can absolutely let us take a ps5 exclusive and run it on a PC.

Again, we still need actual developers who know what and why they do what they do, same with artists... but enabling a home-brew hobbyist to put mario kart in skyrim or whatever is pretty neat. Just wish it didn't seem to require clear cutting a forest.
