A very very senior game developer recently told me how he is changing specialization because AI is much better than him at what he does already.
I asked him if it was just the speed and mass of code, to which he replied that Claude 5 Fable/Mythos is just so advanced, it comes up with solutions he would never have thought of, not even requiring good prompts anymore.
He further said in some areas like Unity it’s not perfect yet, but improving drastically.
Honestly this is pretty different to what I read in many articles regarding AI code.
They mentioned errors, bad performance & such.
However if it is already used in production and he as a professional evaluating it, is saying it’s better than him…
That same day I also talked to somebody that got hired to train an LLM. His interview was with that companies chatbot, that offered him over 120$ per hour, a roughly 500% increase from his previous job 🤣
Doesn’t this assume, that it is giving all training data the same importance? I’m pretty sure they rate the quality of the samples and give it different value. An example for this theory is the data by human professionals, hired to train AI.
Yes, I also read several articles stating that many developers felt they were being more productive using AI, while data showed, they reduced in productivity. Wonder how much Claude really changed since then, I was told: that it improved dramatically with the past 2 updates.
