Data science is probably going to be the first on the chopping block with AI advances imo. At least the average data scientist role.

But knowing how to make the computer do what you want will always be there. Just focus on CS fundamentals, problem solving, and keep an open mind and be creative.

I disagree wrt to Data science being on the chopping block. I do not see any hard evidence of this automation happening anytime soon.
Why do you think so? I do have the impression, that once GPT code interpreter is open access, there is a huge part of data science that will be automated. I think in many cases it will be 'enough' to have subject matter expert without much data science knowledge to 'get answer out of data'. e.g. https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1657050639644360706?s=20
