    If you are someone in first year of college pls try switching to Computer Engineering, Electrical, Robotics or other branches. CS is close to over, everyone can do and most entry level CS future jobs doesnt require unique skill or engineering degree, and this will only go down in future due to basic roles like prompt engineering. Stop promoting CS so much, this whole market is a result of overhype and false narratives.

      Tells the guy who is still unemployed, shut the fuck up brother , stop being philosopher while you're in college. The way you wrote this paragraph i 200% can say you don't actually know what is computer science and another important thing is you don't need a college to learn all these. For anyone who's seeing this message do whatever the fuck you want in life don't listen to anyone people like these love to predict things by watching someone else like gyaani's. It can just affect you mentally. Try everything find something you love and progress

      He's right! It doesn't even matter, CS is done in India in my opinion, I mean where do you see yourself in the future, with the curriculum we have? AI is well Developed, People are working so hard to achieve that next level AGI, Quantum Computing is Developing, And you, Still in the first year of Engineering learning, Trying to understand things with C, C++, Java,
      I mean, Seriously?
      Do you think you guys gonna survive this sh*t ? Initially it's you vs the world with Highly Intelligent people in the world and now it's you vs the Most powerful trained AI Model against you,
      Guess what your chances of winning is .0001%.
      Either you have to adapt or Die.
      Just look around, Telsa, Neuralink, Apple, Google, They've been building cutting edge technology and will continue to do so because they're never short of funds and talents.
      Just ask yourself. It's your Life.

      Interesting. Let me tell you something , my brother used to photoshop , now I talked to him about AI and he said it was the best thing because he wouldn't need to edit 1-2 hours , he didn't need photoshop , anybody could do it but that means that doing degree in photoshop didn't mean anything that much and anyone could do it.
      So yeah.

    Being a person from a core biology background I find your content creative and informative to people like us who have been long separated from the AI or technology related contents. I hope in future if we could replicate the lab experiment experience of working in for e.g biotechnology lab and the results on virtual basis by using some AI tools somehow. Or one person can design experiments based on experience and some other person doing the same experiment realistically and then troubleshooting and discussion with AI based theoretically sound mentor. I think we could save failure rates and the time taken on all these wet lab experiments. :)

    This AI revolution is so fast and we can't predict anytime even about the next year, because at the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023 everyone thought that text to image models need some more years to come and text to videos model could take 2-3 years, but we all know how much time it took, same as this everyone thought AI couldn't take creative jobs but the first job acquired by AI were of creative jobs. Actually as this we couldn't able to predict future, the rate of growth of AI is like a blast, So i feel AI is disrupting all the other fields and we must leave it or become the top 1% in these field, AI will not take 100% for jobs but companies will only hire a single person who can use AI and optimistically make the workdone just the no.of employees for that specific work will reduce from 100 to just 5 or even 1 or 2.
    I feel AI will just help us to upgrade to high level, AI can do all the technical jobs that humans are capable of because AI have been trained on the data that's already in work, so it's time to upgrade to a new technology like spatial computing, VR, Blockchain tech, quantum tech and computing.
    Humans are made to be creative and evolve, we must evolve from web or app development to new techs that still AI don't know to develop.
