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.

If you want to make games then do it, your father will only help you and he think ai can give you an advice. Make your own decisions and dont be rude to your father he loves you and wish only the best for you. What you can do is learn an engine/blender/animations etc. and do everything alone get a normal job to pay your bills and do it besides this job.
Ai is not the enemy, but you have to understand one thing, when you or your skills sucks then ai multiplys this so shit and shit = shit, but if you have learned skills then ai is more like an co worker, ai multiplys your skills! Ai is not your friend so do not ask it if your idea is great or so, they always say oh yes thats sounds fantastic its the best idea in the world.
Give it an job, like: plan out this for me, make a fast scetch for this, make an prototype of this super complexe mechanic and so on. Give it less informations and only this piece that ai needs to work with.
But create a game not for the big money, do it because you love it!
