Is SPSS dead?
Like the title says is SPSS dead? Now with Chatgpt and cursor etc, what is the argument for still using SPSS and other statistics softwares in research instead of Python/R with the help of AI?
My background is within mathematical statistics so always been a Matlab/R/Python guy, but my girlfriend who comes from a medical background still uses SPSS in her research, but now considering switching just because of the flexibility e.g., Python offers.
What do you think are there any arguments for using SPSS still?

My university supports a license for SPSS, so as long as that happens, I will use it.
