    AI is the future of everything tech and while today it is stumbling to really deliver on the promise, it is clear that the trend is towards more and more powerful AI. Given that it can code fairly well already and near instantly means someone is likely already using it in their emulator development to help speed things up. I personally use AI for coding daily and over the past year it went from hardly usable to some dang impressive responses on even larger scripts and even multiple interdependent scripts. Still has a ways to go but if this trend continues as is, there is a point in the near future where an AI agent will be able to make you anything with code you desire including an emulator.

      From my experience anything beyond hello world and the simplest scripts AI is absolute garbage. Even if what AI makes compiles it will commonly give either the wrong output or is so poorly optimised that it’s easier to start from scratch than try to fix what AI cobbled together.

        I have had those experiences too…especially early to mid last year, but today, I am having AI write and edit scripts over 400 lines of code and it is very good. So good that I have not personally written any code for months as it is just so much easier to just have AI write it in seconds. I have written all the code for my award winning VR app with AI so yes…it really is getting very good.

          I tried it for an API I was making for work last month. It took like 6 attempts before it even compiled and then it completely screwed up the data it’s transferring.
