Manifesto: AI (as a term and field) should subsume CS

Seems like a bad idea. LLMs are much more akin to "Data Science" which smells more like Statistics than Peter Noar's "Dataology." If the extent of your programming experience is writing web front ends, it may be difficult to see there's an entire discipline behind databases, operating systems and systematically representing human-meaningful information in a form which can be manipulated by adding machines.

My take on this is AI should be a branch of statistics, if for no other reason than to easily distinguish stats, data science and AI skills from CS skills on people's resumes. This isn't to say AI isn't important, but that CS and AI are two different, but related disciplines. It makes no sense to eliminate one or the other in reference to arbitrary edict.

Oh wait, I forgot to put a dash in my response -- so you would think it was ironically generated by an LLM.
