I don’t have that much experience with coding although I did take the media authoring class last semester with Luers. At the start of the semester we were taught the basics of coding to have a clear understanding and later into the semester AI was integrated to help us experiment and explain things to us. I thought that the use of AI in this instance was an incredible tool that helped with a variety of things, especially to help you get a basic structure for a website.
In terms of a professional field I couldn’t say exactly what it means although I know that many software developers and people in computer science are worried that they will be replaced by AI similarly to screen writers in cinema. But I don’t think that’s what’s happening. I think that in this field AI can be used as a tool to help simplify timely tasks. Given the advancement of AI and its understanding of code by being able to read it it’s incredible to be able to identify problems and give complete code back in seconds which would typically take much more time to manually produce. With AI and its integration in the workplace I think that timely tasks like creating lists or tables can be much easier even for making a basic structure. Where AI is more limited is in the aspect of design, which I think works well for people and web designers.
I don’t know much about game or app design but I think that AI would be a tool in this aspect as well. It would be making the apps or games by itself. There needs an idea and creativity behind it to produce something further. For several types of professions and in almost any case involving AI I think people have a strong fear that it will replace them but it’s a bit of a misconception because many people don’t know how AI works or can be used to help you. I myself personally do not think I will further pursue a number of these professions but do think it’s important to embrace AI because it is the future.
