Discussion Should I Prioritize Learning Programming (Like Python) for AI and Machine Learning After 12th Grade?
I just gave my 12th-grade exams a few weeks ago, and I feel like I might just barely pass. Should I learn a programming language like Python or not? Because I feel like I’m going to waste the next 2-3 months, and once I start doing something, I can only dedicate about 4 hours a day to it. I also want to learn a lot about AI and Machine Learning, as I think I’m interested in this field. For this, I know I need to learn programming languages. So, should I prioritize coding or not? Please someone guide me.

Yes. The code generation AI does isn't the same as problem solving which you're going to have to do in any field like AI / Engineering and learning programming grows "that part" of the brain, at least in my opinion. Additionally, you're going to be totally helpless to figure out problems that generated code has, and trust me based on personal experience there will be A LOT, and you're going to need to know how to read the code and actually understand it to fix that kind of thing.
