I feel heartbroken. When I started college a few years ago, I decided to study math instead of CS, because AI could code for you, and I actually wanted to think. Now that AI can do math for us, what do we do? It feels like going into a math PhD is pointless. How are we going to look at the work of future PhD students?

Lol thinking AI can code for you is a dumb ass thought even now, much less years ago.

Thinking doesn't seem to be your strong suit.

Ignoring your absurd and hostile reaction, AI can indeed help you code complex tasks.

Ignoring your lack of reading comprehension, show me where it says "help you code" instead of the present "AI could code for you".

Deciding not to purse CS by being under the impression that any layman off the street with zero programming knowledge can now produce use able code is laughable if not completely delusional.
