Is a computer science degree worth it in 2024?

In my data science program, I had a study group member who was honestly lazy and just wanted to use ChatGPT and Claude AI for everything. I got tired of him asking and said, “You know what? Let’s do it” to prove a point to him. This was for a data engineering assignment that used a lot of SQL. So we put everything in that would be needed and asked both ChatGPT and Claude AI to figure out the solution.

Even if AI could do those things for us, who’s going to work on maintaining code for AI? We will still need people on the back end to ensure that nothing is glitching or broken. Hence, CS is totally still worth it. Plus, you will not be able to have AI just generate an entire piece of software complete with a GUI just yet. Don’t let the naysayers scare you.

You’ll hear a lot about AI from people who, quite frankly, don’t really know that much about it. They’ll try to scare you out of a CS degree by saying things like, “Oh, AI will take over that job sooner than later.” While that could be true at some point, we’re not at that point just yet.

Why do guys look up TikTok girls instead of porn? My boyfriend of two years, looks up big boobs on TikTok. He has never once cheated on me, not on social media or IRL. He claims it’s to “get off real quick if I’m not home.”

The result? The AI-generated code would not work. We even went through and made the code match our already determined variable names. Still would not work.

A2A. I’m answering this in 2025, but I would say “Yes, it still is worth it.”
