I feel like CS is just correcting back to what it was.
Even back when I was in college (graduated 2017), I noticed there was this clear bifurcation among the students. Alot of the students at that time did it because you could score a great job after college but the smaller cohort were the students that just loved the game. And even back then we had loads of students wash out or graduate then take other jobs after college from the former group.
It's no different today except that the group that did it for money are washing out before they even get to college because they fear that AI will take their jobs, meanwhile the latter group is still here and were able to do more and more with AI.
It's a truly wild time to be alive in this industry. Half of us are seeing the doom and gloom of AI and the other half are seeing the "next age" happen right before our eyes.
And I'll be honest I kinda feel sad for the folks that take the negative view of AI right now. Cause I'm having more fun than I've ever had before in this industry.
