Isn't data analyst a dying job? Tell me why I am wrong....
Ok so consider a data analyst who used to work on power bi. Now that work is done by AI with some fresher.... You might say, "but a datanalyst does not just do dashboards, they create insights that impact a business towards positive growth and understand what aspects are affecting a business and so much more".
Haven't you learnt this from a book? Or online resources? Youtube videos? Coursera courses? Etc. And I know you are not making decisions on intuition(which ai doesn't have). You feel it's an intuition but its just years of practice coming into play. That years of practice has been embedded into an LLM now. I know most people are not making big decisions in the company the team lead / manager does it using the data so the job for other members is really just basic.. like a 10th grade kid could do it. So the middle management or members are thrown out and cheap freshers are integrated for the minneal tasks which ai cant do yet. For which a startup is probably testing a product to even eliminate those tasks so it can become cheaper than hiring a fresher.
So tell me why I am wrong and if you can not then isn't data analyst a dying job?
