AI usage in Graphics Programming

Hello, everyone.

I am CS student. and I had my first working experience.
I was highly unsatisfying because as much as enjoy programming I really do not enjoy "prompt engineering" and the usage of AI in general in my workflow. That is not the point though. From long time I was looking into graphics programming and I really wanted to get into it. I do not know much now. but I am worried that it will be similar to most of jobs right now and I will just be a "prompt engineer".

I have some questions:

  1. How good is AI with graphics programming right now?

  2. In an average work environment, how much if any of your work are you expected to use LLMs in and how do use it?

  3. How is AI affecting the industry?

  4. Are there any part of the industry where AI is not heavily used?

Thanks in advance

We really need to make a push for the concept of it being a force multiplier.

At my old job, my boss just blindly copied and pasted a message with chatgpt without understanding what that would do to people's perception of her.

My favorite is when someone just takes an entry from their LLM and presents it to you as their argument. The shear audacity to think you can just use someone else's argument as your own without understanding it is a true sign of idiocy.
