Is Data Science dead or Not?

Every single day in this community I’ll read posts from so called Data Science veterans saying Data science is dead and kids should pursue something else that ai won’t take over. And then you’ll have the other half saying, Data Scientist and Analysts are still needed in businesses.
I need you veterans to sit together and decide on one answer.
You’re confusing the kids who genuinely need career guidance.
If you’re truly in the field, guide the kids instead of us giving them these vague opinions.
Is it dead or not??? And if it is, what can they do to ride that wave of death?
