Agree with everything you said! Things change, people’s professional aptitudes change, and the type of profession changes. Software developers have to learn new technology even today to stay at the cutting edge. AI will probably just change what everyone will learn to defy status quo.
And not to forget there will be immense opportunities in improving the AI and LLMs which, in my opinion, won’t be a novel and sought after job that only ML engineers and PHDs could do. It will become a field that any person will a little bit of CS background can pursue.
