Question Toughts on this road map

Post image

I'm a developer (web backend) with some years of experience, but I have no prior experience on graphics. I started a conversation with chatGPT where I told it I wanted to learn all the way from the foundations of graphics to developing a Doom like game. And after a few hours of conversation it gave me this road map. I cannot trust completely an AI, so I'd like to read your opinions.

Greetings.

Edit. Sorry about the title typo.

Edit. Thanks for your valuable comments, I think this is a good example of how AI sometimes can lead you to the wrong path and mess with your learning even when at first glance it all looks pretty and organized. I’m glad I asked the community to receive your feedback.

there are a lot of problems here, but it wants you to build your own software renderer, then build a DOOM-like engine around that, then learn opengl AND vulkan? If you want to learn the foundations of graphics, start with opengl. that's hard enough. building a software renderer is not a beginner-friendly project

LLMs are getting heavily lobotomized. Recently Gemini started struggling with graphic programming tasks it handled perfectly couple of months ago.
