man so this is interesting, my 15 year old son is fervently against ai.. he was studying yesterday and i was like you should get notebook LM to make a podcast on the topic so when your done reading the paper, you can relisten to it and see if you missed anything. I have rarely seen him so annoyed by anything..
its not like he is anti tech tho, he spends all his time gaming and modding minecraft.
i think he is just pissed that growing up all he wanted to be was a game developer and AI has cannibalised his dream.
he now wants to be a marine biologist.
dont really have the heart to tell him ..
- TikTok generations hates Ai. My son is also 15 and they see anything Ai as worthless.slappy
- i find this so interesting.. its almost like we are all too dumb to see the threat properly but the kids totally see the adversarial nature of itautoflavour
- we are all still amazed by the magic talking box.. where they see the no future digital cage and overlordautoflavour
- My teenage son feels the same about AI... as for your son and his dream, I have the same dream of being a one man indie game studio...prophetone
- I am finally starting to do this lol, learning Blender, figuring out how I can leverage AI to remove game dev learning curve, pains, act as another team memberprophetone
- With game dev, especially the biggest struggle is maintaining a manageable project scope, start small, use AI, post up to Itch.ioprophetone
- Massive game dev inspiration for me is the Sludge Life dev who shared his Unity work, it’s just kind of thrown together, doesn’t have to be perfectprophetone
- Here’s one of his vids: https://youtu.be/GOW…prophetone
- He posted rough, experimental games like Goblin Uzi to Itch as early works: https://goblinuzi.tu…prophetone
- Point is his example has kind of shown me just get stuff out there, mess around, experiment, it’s inspiring and shows that you can just start small, funprophetone
- Just “be” a game developer! Make it happen!prophetone
- My 20 year old son has embraced Claude Code fully for automating his stock trading. I'm so ashamed. (not really, very proud but where the fuck did he come from?mort_
- My 17 year old is more on the AI will end humanity tipmort_
- 20 year would switch it off for everyone though if he could so he's just making hay while the sun shines.mort_

- thanks for all your comments.. some good tips there. tbh i would rather he do Marine Biology if only as its an actual degree and uni etc..autoflavour
- as opposed to every man and his dog being a vibe developer now. look he started his dream was to be a famous youtuber, then game coder...autoflavour
- so something tangible like Science, feels like an actual goal.. my 11 year old wants to be waitress at a cafe or an artist.autoflavour
- The irony is that your son could now create almost any game he could conceive of, with the help of AI. If only I could have done that at 15...newcunt
- yeah, I sense the appeal was understanding the insides and mechanics of it, less then outcome itself.autoflavour
- AI or not, building out in Unity/Unreal, learning how those work, planning the project out, conceiving of a cool game idea that you can be passionate aboutprophetone
- That all still on the table, that experience is still there for potential game devs, I think the passion part for "YOUR" idea is the biggest thing hereprophetone
- Let AI assist for the backend code and mechanics of it, tailor code yourself when you understand what's going on etcprophetone
- Show user son the Sludge Life vids above from that dev... AI is not making that, look at the fun that can be had building that outprophetone
- I guess it depends what type of a person you are. If you like designing the building, then AI opens up a world of building opportunities...newcunt
- but if it's the building of the building you like, it takes them away.newcunt
- honestly sounds like the kids are alright to me :)Nutter
