Anyone ever tried coding anything, relying 95% on AI?

I've been using ChatGPT Plus for several months now.

I have VERY limited coding experience & never built a fully working app until I started using ChatGPT. I would ask it to code exactly what I want to do (A match with B in input C & D, matching reference from fields E & F in table G, then save it to table H with additional calculations into table I & J, for example).

To date, ChatGPT has allowed me to build 2 working Android apps, countless Excel VBA user forms & even got me through setting up SQL systems.

I wonder if it's any easier to make a game with ChatGPT. I tried asking it how to create a Create-A-Custom-Character with all the usual sliders in a Unity based game, & it seems to have shown answers that may just let me create a game if I wanted.

Anyone else ever tried?

...definitely not me though. I reserve my coding activities to work since I dont exactly 'enjoy' it. When I come here, I come here in pursuit of works that lets me fantasize being a wanton slut:giggle: & the prospect of facing repeated errors during my leisure time is not something I'd look forward to.

The issue of relying on AI for code is, if it ever gives you errors, you don't know why or how it's causing it as you don't understand the fundamentals of the code. Then you go on here or reddit or etc to try and find answers.

Using AI like ChatGPT is pretty good at making simple or single complex task programs. Relying on it to make a whole program is... unreliable.
And as Waterthose mentioned, if you don't understand the fundamentals of the code, it's completely worthless, lest, as I said, you just want to make a simple python script that, for example, goes through a folder and outputs all file names into .txt and then compares it to different .txt.

AI is a good tool to use alongside your code to quickly debug or attempt to find what causes an error or to offer optimization suggestions or to quickly make a sketch for your code or plan.

Also, personally, I have found that Claude AI is better at making code than chatgpt (I have paid chatGPT).

Here:

It's a free online game making website with the help of AI.
It can make all kinds of games, even 3d ones.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

You just tell the AI what you want and it will do it. If it isn't right, just correct it.
It also has an AI art generator for the visuals.

I took one of the existing games and edited it to showcase:

As you can see, you can even give such simple commands, it will do it.



It can make VNs too:

It is actually more cumbersome than doing it the usual way.
But for someone who has not clue what to do, it's a nice tool.

What I usually do when I get errors is to tell AI what the error is or the error code.

It usually has been about a missing plugin or dependency that it assumed I already have or know, from which it will walk back & explain to me step by step on what to do.

For example, when I first started, there was a line of code for a python based app I made to view SQL tables in a webviewer that mentioned "pymysql". I got error when I tried to run that, loaded the screenshot error back to ChatGPT, then told me I didnt yet do "pip install pymysql".

This doesnt work all the time though, especially if my instructions from earlier isnt clear or detailed enough, but considering my shallow coding level & how it usually all worked out in the end, it's still good enough. For me. lol

By that same logic, some games with simple systems may be doable.

I imagine Gran Turismo would be a disaster to code with just AI because the speed of the car & its handling depends on a crazy amount of variables.

Something like the Ridge Racer series where the car logic is very simple might be doable, & the only hard part is designing the cars & the tracks for it.

Thanks for the recommendation on ClaudeAI.

Sorry if this isn't of interest, but I tested some more... and well... the AI CAN make lewd dialog, one has just to ask in the right way, typical AI censorship evasion.

About error findings, in the case of this website, you can just ask the AI, it will help.
There was a problem and it fixed it.
