Hello! I'm a beginner and I'm currently making my second game in Unity.
I saw the rule saying "No AI-Generated content", so I wanted to clarify something before participating.
Is it allowed to use AI only as a learning tool to understand programming concepts or get explanations, while I write and understand the final code myself? I don't want to break the rules—I just want to learn while making my game.
Thank you!
I think the official rule is the actual content that gets included in your game in the end is not allowed to be ai generated (and even then it depends what you mean, jetbrains editors do ai autocomplete out of the box now), if you google a programming problem and that *mostly wrong* google ai thing at the top gives you the answer you're looking for before you even scrolled down, then I highly doubt that would break the rule, just be honest with yourself so that everyone has a fair experience and most importantly so that *you* have a nicer learning experience.
I'd even go as far to say that you'll probably learn far more working under the time constraint just thinking through the problems and googling, ai might actually slow down the learning process for you
Hope you have a fun and fruitful experience, looking forward to seeing what you make for your second game!
My advice would be simple: Do not let AI write any single line of code for you! Tell it to point out errors and help you to fix them, so it is an actual learning experience. Whatever AI you use, you can probably change the system prompt or whatever to be a tutor who helps but does not solve problems, instead of a coding assistant, who does the actual work for you.
