I feel more drawn to almost anything except the books which teacher recommends me and every time, I rely on AI to summarize things for me and it is affecting me badly but I just cannot make myself read those books. Anything that feels necessary to me lose its importance in my sight and I try to avoid those things. Back in the days, I was doing undergrad with a different major but I did not get it and wanted to go to my current major. And now when I am in my current major (CS major, previously doing Electronics Engineering), I have lost interest in that field too. I have many books downloaded to read and many quizzes and exams to attempt but thing is I just don’t feel attracted to those books. Those books feel dry to me and boring as well.
That might definitely be dampening your motivation, no?
But there is a crisis in programming now, as people are figuring out exactly how to use AI to program (a different task than keeping bosses & investors happy.) I think programming might be fun again eventually, but maybe not.
Yeah I like learning retro languages like Pascal, Fortran, and other old ones and doing things that I wanna do rather than integrating AI into every single piece of code. Everything we study these days are discussed through the lens of AI and everyone just want to do things with AI, into AI. Even some teachers create exams using ChatGPT.
Yup. It’s kind of an open question that you want to do programming if its just going to be baby sitting AI. I wish I could give you an answer, but I’m simultaneously not a programmer and can’t see into the future. I definitely know that the mindsets of an old school programmer and a modern vibe monkey are RADICALLY different; you may be suited for one and not the other. I´d see if you can find people making educated guesses about the future of programming and then decide if you want to take part in it.
