Good answer.

That at least that component of that aspect of the job, that variation of the job is still quite sexy.

This has been an evolution that generative AI has accelerated.
9:32
It's gotten easier and easier for non-technical people to do data science work, aspects of it, to interact with complex algorithms.
9:44
And we've had automated machine learning capabilities for roughly a decade now or so that started to make that much easier.
9:54
And now we have generative AI where with a two or three line prompt, you can get several pages of machine learning analysis now.

So I think what's always been happening is that the sort of garden variety data science tasks about getting people access to algorithms statistical algorithms has become easier and less, I think, necessary because people can do it to some degree on their own.
