Some advice for finding direction in computer science, and landing a job.

I always say: "AI is overhyped". Most people think of AI shown in movies. But those are not even AGI. Those are beyong ASI. Today we use AI. AGi could be achievable in at least 50 years. Then ASI and then more advanced tech would come. So don't worry AI won't completely replace us at least in the next 200 years.
I do believe AI will replace CS students within the next few years(5 -20 years) because of a single thing : AGI.
AI isn't taking all dev jobs yes, but 3 out of 5 in the next decade. The whole field is completely cooked. Basic office administration, project management and desk support jobs have it even worse. And this is going to affect so so much more people than niche software devs that were already a minority in big companies.
What makes AI different is the fact it has the capacity to accelerate its own progress unlike cars which were relying on our own innovation to fly, not saying programming is dead at all it’ll stay relevant for certain use cases but I think underestimating the fact AI will change things could be risky
This video was peak until the brilliant sponsor. Don't pay for knowledge this day and age.
Managers are professional human engineer prompters. Get real.
Just like with the horses, ai is only gonna replace the people who burned down the cars because they had a cool horse
Honestly, my professors all say AI would replace you, as long as you know how to use it and learn about it. AI will just make unnecessary jobs, like cashiers, obsolete, since these are just part time jobs, so it isn't as important.
Tbh I’m a full stack dev and like my job but kinda lack having fun doing it. I sometimes wish a had a side project to keep me excited about programming but when I get an idea and get hyped about it, I juste find some dude that already done that project with like 5k stars on GitHub..
Last exemple of that being the idea to create a chrome extension that synchronizes your MyAnimeList with content you watch on your browser. “Oh and I’m going to call it MALSync !”. Googled it. Already been amazingly done… kinda happy and disappointed at the same time.
Still no side project but my MAL is synced 😕
But isn't the situation with AI different? It's come to the point where old AI designs new AI and the growth is exponential.
The argument I would make for that not every job will get replaced is that there is not enough trust (and rightfully so!) in AI so there will always have to be a human to look over the AI's work.
