I know there are some older developers that are 100% against it but I am wondering what your thoughts on it are.

I ask that to say this I use AI (Claude Opus 5 formerly Opus 4.8) to build every Flarum extension/theme and every Invision app I make but I give it very strict instructions and don't just let it go all willy nilly. I have it make safeguards in the beginning that it has to follow. It scans the code based on the Invision code to make sure everything is good. Does it always get it right the first time? No it doesn't but usually within the first few versions it's pretty dang good. (So disclaimer if you are one of those that is against AI you might not want to buy anything I make).

So let me know how you feel about it. It can be about AI in general and doesn't have to pertain to this particular subject.

Me personally I love playing World of Warcraft. Haven’t had much time for that the past few days since I started building apps for Invision but I’ll slow down soon and play some more. Just wanted to get a decent catalog of apps first. So tell me what do you like to do?
