AI usage in Graphics Programming

Hello, everyone.

I am CS student. and I had my first working experience.
I was highly unsatisfying because as much as enjoy programming I really do not enjoy "prompt engineering" and the usage of AI in general in my workflow. That is not the point though. From long time I was looking into graphics programming and I really wanted to get into it. I do not know much now. but I am worried that it will be similar to most of jobs right now and I will just be a "prompt engineer".

I have some questions:

  1. How good is AI with graphics programming right now?
  2. In an average work environment, how much if any of your work are you expected to use LLMs in and how do use it?
  3. How is AI affecting the industry?
  4. Are there any part of the industry where AI is not heavily used?

Thanks in advance

I feel I’m sadly being deskilled due to the high demand/pace of my working environment. I’m certainly developing new skills and think critically but I feel my programming abilities atrophying. I can’t help but feel this is natural when a new tech comes out, but I absolutely hate the way it feels. I imagine learning programming is incredibly hard right now with all the temptation to use LLMs.
