Only if you care about personally understanding how computers work, and/or if you desire to change the way that they work on your own.
If you just want to make money, there’s no need to understand it deeply. It’s more important to understand the business side of things, to identify good opportunities, to learn how to manage people, and to make good connections. You can pay people or AI to write code. It won’t necessarily be good, but if you just want money, who cares.
Computer science is a lot more than writing code. There’s a lot of theory, as well as learning how to develop and apply novel solutions to difficult problems. It may be that AI can help with that as well, but I have my doubts that it will be both economical and effective.
What’s more, you may be interested in solving problems where you don’t trust the “aligned” AI (or future versions of the AI) to investigate a problem fairly. For instance, will an AI allow you to challenge its owners with a new product? Will it let you write privacy software when the government begins cracking down on it? It all depends on your areas of interest.
