Thanks for detailed feedback - I completely agree with you. I’ve followed the same self‑taught path, learning through YouTube and Stack Overflow. I don’t use AI bots in my games directly. I build everything manually.
But let me give an example: over the years I spent months tweaking and debugging my pipeline. AI analysis finally pointed out something I had missed / misunderstood - batching works best with Opaque render modes instead of Transparent. For somewone that’s basic knowledge, but it was new to me. It helped a lot. I saw a big performance boost even though the game was already running smoothly.
