My plan is to learn how to use AI and be proficient with it, so they will be more likely to keep me, as opposed to those who refuse to use it. Some people on my team still refuse to use AI, thinking you can't trust anything since it's all hallucinations.

How is this fair to others?!
University is not a competition, others have nothing to do with this? The unfairness here is between me and myself, as I was supposed force myself into doing it in Prolog.

when I downloaded the example programs, they open up in my music player but don't play anything
As usual, try mplayer. It can play anything.

I remember learning it in univerisity. It's a really weird language to reason with IMO. But really fun. However I've heard the performances are not that good if you wanna make e.g. game AIs with it.
I also learned Prolog in the university.
In the Classsic AI course we had to implement gaming AI algorithms (A*, alpha-beta pruning, etc) and in Prolog for one specific assignment. After trying for a while, I got frustrated and asked the teacher if I could do it in Ruby instead. He agreed: he was the kind of person who just couldn't say no, he was too nice for his own good. I still feel bad about it.
Rest In Peace, Alexandre.

Those who like this game may also want to try open-source The Battle for Wesnoth, which is a turn-based hexgrid war game.

Uuugh, graphics. So many smart people expending great energy to look busy while doing nothing particularly profound.
Graphics people, here is what you need to do.
1) Figure out a machine abstraction.
2) Figure out an abstraction for how these machines communicate with each other and the cpu on a shared memory bus.
3) Write a binary spec for code for this abstract machine.
4) Compilers target this abstract machine.
5) Programs submit code to driver for AoT compilation, and cache results.
6) Driver has some linker and dynamic module loading/unloading capability.
7) Signal the driver to start that code.
AMD64, ARM, and RISC-V are all basically differing binary specs for a C-machine+MMU+MMIO compute abstraction.
Figure out your machine abstraction and let us normies write code that’s accelerated without having to throw the baby out with the bathwater ever few years.
Oh yes, give us timing information so we can adapt workload as necessary to achieve soft real-time scheduling on hardware with differing performance.
They have done it. The current modern abstraction is called Vulkan, and the binary spec code for this machine is called SPIR-V.

> we should more readily abandon GPU vendors
This was so much more practical before the market coalesced to just 3 players. Matrox, it's time for your comeback arc! and maybe a desktop pcie packaging for mali?
The market is not just 3 players. These days we have these things called smartphones, and they all include a variety of different graphics cards on them. And even more devices than just those include decently powerful GPUs as well. If you look at the Contributors section of the extension in the post, and look at all the companies involved, you'll have a better idea.

> AI always gets the intent right and always seems to use the most appropriate words given the original intent/meaning
How do you know? Why are you using something to translate if you’re a native speaker of both languages?
I said I am a beginner in one of the languages.
How do I know their answer is best? I can verify their answers through other means, and I understand both languages enough to realize one answer is more appropriate than the other, even if I can't come up with those words directly using only my brain.

I have the opposite problem: I have to force myself to not take so many breaks!

AI has completely killed Google Translate. It is significantly superior in every way.
GT often uses the wrong word or changes the tone of a message. AI always gets the intent right and always seems to use the most appropriate words given the original intent/meaning (or at least something way better than what GT does). And, whenever there is doubt, I can argue with it, so AI is happy to explain the nuances and differences between the possibilities.
Edit: I recently had to send a semi-formal email requesting something from a government employee in a different country (using a language I'm a beginner at), and AI was immensely helpful in getting the right tone (neither informal or too formal) and everything else right. The Google Translate version of what I had originally written was miles and miles and miles worse than what AI helped me craft.
