If I want to work on artificial intelligence...

I don't see how the distinction is relevant to my post. Generally speaking, when working in ML, you're going to actually have to implement some things, or you wont be able to test jack. So you want some experience in coding. That's all I've said on the matter. It shouldn't be controversial.

You said "coding" which is usually said by web designers or people with no programming experience

lmao
only fa/g/gots are this concerned about muh proper nomenclature. time to go back to the

most AI are just a dressed-up optimization or statistics problem.

you can go for math or EE as well as CS

the nomenclature says a lot about you though. "coding" is to programming what "building" is to architecture

Don't do pure compsci. It's notoriously horrible. They're pretty much vocational courses churning out code monkeys.

At least do CompEng or CS&Engeneering. It's more rigorous.

I found the (you) that can talk good game but can't program his way out of a wet tissue.

cs will gook ya up

Computer Science, Mathematics, Electronics, Physics and Philosophy

even if this were true, so what? programming is a monkey's job
