This AI stuff has really killed the excitement for me, I have to use to to hit productivity metrics and I don’t get to use my own mental capabilities as much.

I was a computer science major and I attempted to love it. I got my associates in it instead of bachelors because it’s fucking hard. You really have to sit down, ask questions, learn more how to build and execute on your own, and you really shouldn’t be using ChatGPT because what’s the point of getting your degree?

I didn’t find myself truly interested until my senior year tbh. I hated the filler classes but once I was able to take Ai related courses I actually felt passionate about the field. Before this point, I didn’t truly enjoy the field but felt it was the only major that made sense to me and was willing to tolerate it just for decent pay

i think i know a lot of people that are cs majors, and don’t necessarily like coding. a lot of them tbh are just basically math majors, as it is possible to do only a few programming classes that don’t have any math in them (these people lowkey got to quant a lot of the time, but sometimes just really specific research in math/physics) i think a lot of people in cs study it more for what they can go into, than u may think. tldr, u dont need to like programming to study cs

I don’t LOVE coding. I went into CS for the money and job stability in 2022 and abouta graduate. I wanted to have a good job so I could pursue my passions on the side (art). What instead happened is that I don’t rly love the work and I don’t do art anymore. But to be fair I am still in college so I don’t have much free time

My ex is a CS major he hates coding with a burning passion and I keep telling him a different major would be better suited for him as he wants to go into something closer to a mechanical engineering job than a computer science job

I knew a lot of people in that category freshman year. Most of them dropped out sophomore year.

Sophomore here. I like coding and in general am curious about the very fundamentals of everything and how to do cool stuff, but I just don’t see myself working behind a screen and writing programs. It feels like more of a passionate side-hobby to me than a full career, like music or thinking, both of which I do a lot.
