Hello, I am 18 years old and I am in my first semester of a Statistics and Data Science program, but something that has been bothering me is not knowing how the use of AI is in the daily life of data scientists/data analysts/statisticians. I find myself wondering whether it is worth spending the next few years dealing with pure mathematics and coding from scratch, only to end up needing to deliver work as quickly as possible using AI. Because of this, my question is: how are data scientists (and the other careers I mentioned above) dealing with this? How is AI being used in their daily work? And for juniors, how is the experience?
