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.

    It's a program for learning how to develop games. There's no point in trying to teach someone who isn't willing to learn. Businesses don't give a shit about the wellbeing and continued professional development of their employees, they just want to see Line Go Upâ„¢. Therefore, they want employees to use the slop machine.

    If you're going to be a developer you will have to learn how to use AI. It's as simple as that. Obviously there's a big difference in AI assisted coding and asking Claude to make you a Mario clone.

    You're saying that as if the learning how to use AI with coding is the hard part and needs to be done from the start, rather than people learning the foundation that means you will understand not just what to tell the AI but what it is doing so you can think of the pitfalls it might not consider as well as have an idea of when something is taking longer than it should (or going much quicker than it should, which could mean it's not really doing what you expected).
