Computer science grads have the highest rates of unemployment. Learn another field and learn how coding & AI streamline your effort. Computer science shouldn’t be a major anymore.[/quote]

New paper shows that AI may actually be slowing things down even though it feels faster.

I think it comes down to how effectively a coder can weed out the bad code AI generates.  AI generates quite a bit of bad code, if you couldn't write code very well in the first place you may be stuck following bad leads.  Then I think there is a tendency to build bigger systems than would have otherwise been possible so you get into the situation where if you don't have the skills to manage a large code base in the first place it will make for some very difficult problems.  This seems to be where AI has the most problems, you can't feed it your large program.  It just doesn't get it.  That being said a large proportion of programmers are what I would consider "script kitties".  They leverage domain knowledge like "Bioinformatics" or "Finance" and write simple script programs using languages like R, Perl, Matlab, Power BI.  AI can easily handle those kinds of scripts.

So yeah, it is going to make it rough for your entry level coders who would normally get by writing simple scripts and programs.  I definitely don't need a summer intern, not that I needed one before but I don't see the summer interns of yore being able to compete with an AI chatbot.[/quote]
