I worked on this! I hope you guys enjoy it :)

Programmers in game studios use AI coding tools. Not all of them yet, but it's getting popular lately. Gen-AI in concept art is very common. Artists paint modifications on top of AI generated image. Photoshop has various AI tools nowadays (context aware fill being one of the first). Translating text and dialogue to different languages is often done with AI. In rendering side, big studios have been talking at SIGGRAPH about their AI based light probe placement and probe/texture/material compression algorithms. AI based terrain generation and prop placement exists in big engines. DLSS from Nvidia is well known AI upscaler. DLSS5 adds gen-AI to the mix, etc, etc. There aren't many games left with no AI used in their production.

after a decade in the same place you get bored, and I've decided to look for other opportunities now that I've finished the launch of N1X and my next / last project is slated to release within a couple of months. If you have openings for a top notch systems / perf engineer, DM me

Regardless of what I say about AI, somebody always considers my post overly negative or overly positive. It's a polarizing topic for sure. If you are in the middle, everybody hates you on both sides. I have a pragmatic view about AI. It's a good tool, but it needs a lot of micro-management to be viable, and even then it often frustrates me. Still I use it because it improves my overall productivity. But the quality is slightly worse, even with constant micro-management.

I'm happy to share my latest blog post. In this post, I document how I implemented forward-mode automatic differentiation in my custom shading language and used it to drive mipmap selection in my offline renderer. agraphicsguynotes.com/posts/…
