If you’ve been programming and teaching for more than 55 years, you’ve come across a lot of “new and groundbreaking” things.
Even an assembler was an ingenious thing (my first program Module Import / Usage - #15 by hofk ), if you had only looked at binary codes before. After some time of “3rd generation higher programming languages”, the really big thing was to come. It was called the 4th generation and we were promised that we would only have to provide tasks and general algorithmic descriptions. The rest would be done by the technology and programmers feared that they would no longer have any work to do. This is probably not quite the case, and although many new technologies make work easier, the complexity has increased massively compared to earlier times. We need “modern” programmers.
I use artificial intelligence where it saves me time 
and makes some things possible in the first place. Not for highly complex problems, but for specific tasks. Three.js doesn’t stand alone, but works in conjunction with other “things”.
2 examples:
-
Decades ago I once learned regular expressions and used them a bit. Now, after a long time, I needed more complex expressions again. It would have taken me a lot of time and effort to familiarize myself again. A task of seconds for the AI.
-
I have a three.js project where I have to load a lot of (also larger) video and audio files. With only some videos it worked immediately, the audios caused problems. I had my suspicions, but it would have taken a while to clarify them without AI. A question with a program section to the AI and the problem was solved immediately in my notation and with hints. Who tests many large videos? So I asked what problems are known. I received a detailed explanation and can now continue in a targeted manner.
Apart from
analog computing, quantum computing, artificial neural networks, the understanding of “0 and 1” is the basis of (digital) programming and if you use AI sensibly there, that’s very OK.
P.S. I wanted to do it 50 years ago, but due to time constraints I only made it 2014-Windows( cpusimulation.hofk.de ) and 2021-three.js (CPU simulation 8Bit) without AI, a custom processor.
