Ideal code finding - i.e. low-level code for pixel format conversion with perfect round-over points, low level audio quantization and channel interleaving, any kind of such code that takes great attention to achieve perfect accuracy and ideal memory access patterns.
API design, anything where a specific problem space needs to be fully understood and then designed in "good taste." An AI can make very good individual method suggestions, but it's the sum of trained codebases which doesn't beat letting a great developer design an entire system end-to-end.
Game development - and putting everything together. While generated 3D models are becoming usable, many areas such as making animations, going "fun-finding" (tuning the core gameplay mechanics so it feels satisfying and makes players come back) and cohesiveness aren't topics AI can provide much help currently. | 20,883 | null |
