LOL, made me wonder what general purpose flight simulator code the AI would
be trained on ....

I don't mind using AI as a research assistant.  How do I make the button
green with rounded corners, or remind me the numpy function that does the
thing, or help me understand why this error message ... but designing the
architecture and writing the critical core code is all the fun stuff.  I
don't know about anyone else but for me the best and most fun toys I've
ever played with are the ones I built myself or contributed to ... and
building them was the funnest part.  Legos?  Electronics kits?  Model
airplanes?  FlightGear!  There's nothing better than seeing a thing you
built (or you and the team you are on for bigger projects) flying
gloriously.  Well, that, and learning how to do something new and cool.

AI is a great crutch to get through school and get you through all your
projects ... probably get you all A's ... until you get to your first job
interview and can't say anything useful about all the things on your
resume.  "Nice guy, but couldn't go even one level deep on any of his past
projects.  Shame, they sounded like cool projects, I was hoping to learn
more about them ..."
