Just learn to use the best tools available now to create the best product or service for whoever is willing to pay you. That probably means not doing a formal CS degree, but self-study instead.

My point being that CS degree programs in particular are woefully behind current developments.

It makes you useful for crime and other things, you will not get a job though.

No.
You need to know some programming to understand what the AI is spitting out and where it's going wrong. It's also great exercise for your brain.

Ouch that hurts.
Still worth it. You just don't want to solely take pride in your coding abilities. This is a trap a lot of millennials fell into. In the 2000's and the 90's, a good programmer had great jobs and lots of opportunity. They could get by in adulthood as a highly paid nerd. Today you need to keep up your social skills to get a job.

i learned to program in 2020-2021 but all i did was copy code from 20 different sources. That is kind of what AI does today lol.

The market isn't what it used to be. Now it's just another corporate job in the white-collar sweatshops.
At least life is comfy if you become an indie dev.

If I were an 18 year old starting college over again I would absolutely not learn to code. I would instead do Air Force ROTC, major in an interesting non-applied science like astronomy or earth systems, get my PPL over the summers, and take a commission, and go fly.

If you want a dev job the market is kinda shit right now (at least in the US). Its far too competitive and companies are reluctant to hire juniors. Who knows if itll get better by the time you're ready.

Learning to code is probably a good thing and will become a basic life skill in the future if it isn't already. But I'm not sure you'll get a job for it.
It's like cooking: Yes you should learn to cook, but most people won't cook professionally and those who do will work their asses off. If they have talent and work ethic they may become successful.
