State of AI in Analytics | Will AI be the End of Data Analysts?

Great analysis Alex! I completely agree with everything you said. I really don't see how these AIs would replace the role of a data analyst. These AIs cannot perform at its optimal level without the guidance of a data analyst. I don't see a world where someone with no knowledge of analytics would analyse a complex data using these AIs. In my opinion, these AIs are here to make the job of a data analyst faster, easier and more proficient. It is unthinkable how fast an analyst can write complex codes with the help of ChatGPT unlike before when they would try to get help from platforms like Stack Overflow etc.

Hey Alex! Great insights. I personally believe that companies who solely rely on AI to do their analytics for them and base their business decision making on that, will not go far. Earlier you said that companies will hire people to verify AI’s responses, which I personally think would just be data analysts. I think AI is just another tool to help analysts make better business decisions. It can help debug your code and even give you code to automate things which would make you, the analyst, more proficient at your job because you have more time now to clean your data and visually represent it.

Jalapeños! I spent 33 years in IT, starting as a COBOL programmer on mainframe systems. After Covid, I decided I want to start in data analytics. The biggest problem is whenever a new technology comes out, management goes nuts trying to use the new tech for everything. Managers want to show they have used the new tech to their bosses, even if the final product is clumsy and inefficient. I'm remembering XML in the early 2000's. A great tool when used as intended. I saw data being stored in XML format on database systems and blowing storage space out of the water, only because somebody wanted to get a bigger bonus showing they used the new tech. The hardest obstacle I see is for entry-level analysts is hiring managers believing AI can do their job, forgetting every mid-level and senior analyst had to start somewhere.

Jalapeños! I use chatgpt to solve errors in coding, got rid of writing emails on my own... , so it's positive for me and I'm taking it easy because it's already too much happening in one year like neither to sleep on it nor to get anxious about it. I'm really excited to use your platform soon. Never been more excited than hearing Alex The Analyst releasing the program of our dreams. I'll read every Newsletter and every lesson will be given. Congratulations!

Alex you're doing an amazing job. Appreciate it man 🙌
