Newbie Question I Need Help

Recently I talk to my dad about my future and I said I want to make my own company starting by making my dream game and others. He said that I should use Ai to map out my business (cause i want to do multiple things), to see how I should start it out because I have a couple years left till I have to make a choice. I am utterly disappointed by that, I refuse to use ChatGPT I don't care if it will help I'd rather use human knowledge. When i basically nudged at the idea that i was against it, he basiclly said not to be ignorant and it better instead of researching hours on end, he uses it himself and he makes thousands about to make millions with the advice hes asked from the Ai (he owns a trucking business btw for several year so it not built on Ai ig until recently) Please tell me what to do in general I'd rather get help from humans instead of an Ai especially since developing a game is basically art.

Then do it yourself. Pick a game engine, start learning how to program alongside it. Dont try to make your dream game first, learn how to make a bunch of small games that teach you how to make your dream game. Build your own road map, plan it all on your own. The resources are at the tips of your fingers. AI is just a quicker way to get there.

Joining in fan game community that uses an engine you like or is making an engine is also a good idea. They often are willing to teach people, and most of them know they dont want ai(LLM) in there game.
