Is studying Computer Science still worth it at university given how fast AI is improving?

It feels like AI tools are getting better every month at writing code, debugging, building apps etc, and I keep seeing people say junior developer jobs are going to get hit hardest.

At the same time, I also hear people say strong CS fundamentals will become even more valuable because most people will just know how to prompt tools without understanding what’s actually happening underneath.

So I’m curious what people already in software think.

If you were starting university today, would you still study Computer Science? Or would you go a different route?

I’m trying to validate a simple idea:

Do people actually want more meaningful ways to send messages, or is normal texting already enough?

I’m building a digital card where you can send someone a more personal message with a voice note or text. It’s meant for moments like:

• birthdays
• anniversaries
• apologies
• long-distance messages
• anything where a normal text feels a bit too flat

The recipient opens it like a small “reveal” instead of just reading it in a chat.

Curious if this feels genuinely useful in the UK or just like a novelty that people wouldn’t actually use.
