I'm a software engineer that, like the vast majority of you, uses AI/agents in my workflow every day. That being said, I have to admit that it feels a little weird to hear someone who does not write code say that they built something, without even mentioning that they had an agent build it (unless I missed that).

Worth bearing in mind that people in VFX are often relatively technical.

From their own 'LLM handover' doc: https://github.com/nikopueringer/CorridorKey/blob/main/docs/...

> Be Proactive: The user is highly technical (a VFX professional/coder). Skip basic tutorials and dive straight into advanced implementation, but be sure to document math thoroughly.

Back when I played with animation and post pipelines, I was writing a decent amount of python. It's part of how I got into programming. At the time I would have said I can't program, and I suspect this guy is similar.

It's actually a bit refreshing that they didn't brand this with the usual "LLM hype". And it's actually a good example of someone using LLMs to solve a problem by bringing in their domain knowledge. (The solution is surprisingly simple though, I wonder if other people have done this before but kept it proprietary/in-house).

This is interesting. I had the exact opposite reaction.

You don't hear architects get hounded because they say they "built" some building even though it was definitely the guys swinging hammers that built it. But yet, somehow because he didn't artisanally hand-craft the code, he needs to caveat that he didn't actually build it?

architects i know say "i designed that", "i worked on that", "i specified that" or "i chose that", they don't say "i built that"

Maybe it's a language thing. Architects saying they built something sounds a bit off to me. In my native language, and in everyday language, I don't think people would use "built" like that. I don't know how architects talk with each other, though.

I mean, the heading of the video says "he solved the problem," which I think is wise to pay a lot of attention to.

Is a carpenter who relied on a CNC to cut all of their pieces a builder?
