I know there is the AI chat bot, but it’s done some horrendous things before (like deleting the entire multi level Structure of Variables, luckily I caught this quite quickly) so I don’t quite trust it yet to make changes even though it’s done good job with some other prompts.
What’s the next best thing to get AI to build things from prompts?
Hey!
When I started with GDevelop, I had just come from Roblox Studio where AI was the best tool to write code. Originally, I was using ChatGPT to write events, but I found it was actually MUCH FASTER and more reliable to just learn GDevelop events myself 
But hey, ChatGPT was at least better then GDevelop’s Ai!

That’s what I am finding too, as in, between writing the very detailed prompt and then debugging… I feel I would have done it all myself in that time which also gives me full control and understanding of what’s happening.
Just that there is a lot of buzz out there about vibe coding so I wanted to see if it there is a way to make it all faster with ai… but maybe not just yet
Thanks!

Don't!
Just sit down for 25-40min. And just try to make a small bare bones game. Like 2d platform.
Only ask AI for help if there's no way to do something you're looking for or if the feature you want, hasn't been asked by anyone else.
Trust me ain’t nothing good about "vibe coding"
You're just robbing your future self from the knowledge you could have earned today.
Think of it this way
If you have a little a brother or a lil sister, and they’re starting to learn to walk. Would you hold their hands every time they try to walk by themselves? No right? You would want them to learn that they’ll fall and experience pain here n then.
AKA
Don't cheat yourself from good handwork, by depending on low effort things. And just take the Ls, cuz later, you’ll be proud that effort paid off.

that’s very much in line what I was thinking too. I actually enjoy creating it all. (well apart from the occasional day of frustration now and again). And also I do want to learn it all as it’s going to be a lot easier to troubleshoot things later down the road when systems start to depend one on another.
I was curious to see if there is anyone who is having good luck with it or it was just something they were trying to sell on the news… seems like the latter for now.
Thanks!
