That was the 1980’s.

I hear you. I have same problem finding a doctor in NYC! The insurance list is almost always outdate. I'm not sure AI can help unless it has up to date information.

Imagine thinking English is the only major or even the best major for learning those things.

Certainly one of the better ones, at least for people who have more understanding and open mind than you.

So you attack someone who says English is not the only major or the best major for learning critical analysis etc. for being closed minded? You're not impressing me with your English major ability to interact with others, do critical analysis, or understand the big picture - and you're not demonstrating much open-mindedness to the skills developed in other majors.

I'm a STEM major, not an English major and I'm just stating the facts, ma'am.

AI is going to gut those professions as well.

What it will do to K-12, still remains to be seen, but when AI is good enough to teach home school (and that day will come), watch out.

Gut? Hardly. I for one would never allow AI to defend me in a court of law or do a procedure or operate on me if needed

Most doctors are not surgeons. Most lawyers are not litigators. Doctors do not spend the majority of their time operating, lawyers do not spend the majority of their time in court. There is a great deal of what both of those professions do that will be replaced by AI.

So it kind of depends which direction you take with it.

AI threatens most CS majors just as much as any others. I would focus on doing a major in whatever field you're interested in and you have the most aptitude for. Then accrue internships and specialized in-demand skills to suit the moment you graduate. After that initial hire, you become more about your work history than your major.
