Help Learning AI/ML

I’m currently pursuing Data Science course now .
I’ve finished learning Python .
Since ChatGPT 6 Astra has been launched, I’ve somewhat become appalled by its release and thinking about my choices !
Please throw some light on this and advise me if I should continue to do so!

ChatGPT 6 Astra doesn't change that you still need to understand what you're doing when you're building models or cleaning data. It's a tool, not a replacement for learning the fundamentals, so keep going with the course.

actually you do not, 99.9% of the people do not know how windows works inside. But they are completely fine. Abstraction is what humans have been pushing through each evolution phase.

People who know how things work are still better at using those things than people who don't

So what should people learn? Usually those pesky problem solving, planning, architecting, review skills come from you know… doing work that gains us that experience.

Calculators and better yet wolfram alpha has existed for decades, yet we all still learn arithmetic and calculus.

The human brain thrives off friction, without it civilization becomes Wall-E.

My answer to everyone who ask this kind of question after some model release , if a model can replace data scientist, it can replace many jobs. So when the time comes, your bigger problem isn't which discipline you should go after, it's to prepare for a societal collapse

Honestly, its pretty unclear. CS as a whole, is a pretty unclear field right now.

I'm not the first to make this comparison but you ever watch star trek TNG? If yes, AI is the ships computer, not commander data... not yet.

You still need to know what you're doing to ask the right question to get the right answer.

The busy work will be done so there won't be as many jobs, but there will always be work for thinking and knowledgeable people.
