Is Data Science Dead?

This new article insists it is. “Data Science is dead. It is quickly getting replaced by stuff great data scientists built. Every big cloud vendor is doing it. Need to do a churn analysis? Done. Need to predict energy efficiency? Done. Want a recommendation engine? Done. Need to process genders, age and emotion from images? Done. From video? Done. Need to recognize certain logo’s in images? Done. Need to understand sentiment? Done. Need to translate text or summarize text? Done.”  J-F Puget tweeted: “I disagree but this is an interesting read. We still need data scientists to cover the 20% not covered by precanned models.” What are your thoughts?
