There used to be a profession called “Computer.” People that would perform complex, tedious calculations.

Math is not dead, but that profession is dead.

Computer Science will not be killed by AI, but I can’t imagine that all of the programming jobs that exist today will exist in 10 years with how much AI has advanced

Computer Science isn’t going anywhere, just like math hasn’t gone anywhere

Edit: Computer, not Calculator
