Bingo. Fixing bugs with AI is smart & efficient. Not stealing IP, it's about speeding up workflow. Use AI daily when coding in Unity - need quick recall, fix or more optimized route. That said, it was a code snippet from another dev that solved a big issue in a Quest MR app today. Use help from both - human & machine.
As someone who has been paying a fulltime wage to two human engineers to develop a game for over a year, I cannot stress enough that anti-AI people need to understand that software engineering utilizes AI. It is not the same as Gen-AI. Witch hunting devs over this sucks.

"Rick Treweek triumphs at Emmys, inspiring new era in virtual reality" Note: if #VR is to go mainstream, VR formats that achieve mainstream recognition need to be highlighted. Cool tech and gimmicks may delight VR devs and have an important role in innovation but mainstream audiences want story/characters. There's a difference between content driven by dramatic narrative and spectacle. Link: msn.com/en-za/entertainment/…

When the first Alpha track (calutrons/uranium enrichment) launched on Nov '43, the huge electromagnets shorted out. It was a disaster. Threatened to derail the Manhattan Project. Grandfather was head of the Magnet Group, he must've freaked out. Problem was contaminated insulating oil. Task is to weave this narrative into a #vr scene. #unity3d #immersivestorytelling
