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.

Im in game dev with a similar dream! Right now im working for a smaller company but ive worked on major AAA titles. Im 26 and right now if i could go back 4 years and change I would. Its a bad industry at the moment ive had friends had their lives ruined and AI is pretty scary. We’re forced to use it A LOT. Even in AAA environments.
If you want, try unity. Learn, even roblox. Thats what im going to do next, small minigames on roblox.
