- Former Assassin’s Creed Hex Director Clint Hocking says he used AI to learn how to code.
- Hocking says he used ChatGPT primarily to debug code, but found it “sucked”
- He later switched to JavaScript and learned to code “in spite of ChatGPT.”
far away 2 and ex Assassin’s Creed Hex Director Clint Hocking admitted to using AI in the past to help him learn to code, but found the process “brutal.”
In the latest issue of Edge magazine, which focused on how AI tools have been used in the gaming industry, Hocking revealed his own stance on the divisive technology and believes its integration is inevitable.
The developer also said that he used ChatGPT, one of the most popular AI tools, to help him learn to code.
“It was brutal,” Hocking said. “ChatGPT was kind of shit. I didn’t really know how to code. Everything was broken. It was mostly me trying to debug the code without knowing how to code it myself.”
However, after about a year and a half, Hocking abandoned the software in favor of JavaScript, acknowledging that he “somehow learned to code despite ChatGPT” and likened the AI tool to a tutor rather than an alternative to learning.
