It’s important to understand how AI will affect your field and recalibrate your position or contribution accordingly
It is a big enough change for this to be a valid question for anyone in the world today
Leaving what you’re doing and going into “AI” will likely set you up for a crypto level disaster
Vibe coding is a thing but vibe business building or job hunting isn’t! So beware of hype and know that in the end money is made by serving people and it will be equally hard with vibe coding too because the bar is higher
AI will create newer opportunities for sure but follow the opportunity, not the AI is what the sentiment here is I guess

In the case of my industry (middling cybersecurity) we're seeing the following "advances"
- When you ask someone a question, they vomit your question into co-pilot, paste the result, and presume that they have helped somehow.
- All meetings now have not-useful meeting notes and no one reads these.
- People are considering implementing security co-pilot, which will introduce useful advances such as spending much more time building promptbooks so co-pilot can understand our logs.
- A lot more people think they're engineers, and vomit out scripts which do things the "authors" do not anticipate.

We have been dealing with this at my job also. It's really concerning how this is becoming normalized and how often we've had to deal with it. Somehow there are people that have "Engineer" in their title that think this is acceptable workplace behavior and work product for a professional making $XXX,XXX/year.
We had a person join our team recently who doesn't know our stack at all (which is fine, we were happy to teach them). When another engineer reviewed their pull request and asked a question, they pasted the question into Copilot and responded to the pull request with the answer (which was wrong!), even going so far as to say "Copilot thinks it's this: ...". I almost lost it. Your job is to learn, understand, and apply that knowledge, not paste incorrect model responses back and forth between web forms!
It's baffling and enraging. Are people _trying_ to demonstrate to management and their teammates that they're actually worthless? Are our expectations as a profession really this low, that we don't expect people to understand the code that they push?
