Youtube + textbook + good discord (slack or IRC etc.) can replace an undergrad CS course pretty well IMO for at least the practical skills. AI can help but is a minor piece, at least right now.

Whatever a student encounters in a field probably has search results on the web. I find it hard NOT to find the same question on sites like StackOverflow, Quora, or Reddit.

My last contact with the educational system as a learner was around 2009, so I missed pretty much the whole YouTube / Khan Academy revolution. It would be very interesting to see what it's like to learn today, what resources I'd find most effective.
