I agree with you.

My personal take is that the AI era will be a rough brush that will help shed all the accumulated cruft in this profession.

I think highly technical, knowledgable people will remain, and thrive in a few years, and all the rest will move on to the next fad, or whatever pays the most.

The reason a segment of the current market will remain is because LLMs still need steering, we are not at a point where an abstract idea can go from Tweet to product, and we are many many leagues away from that. Of course, this has been noted to oblivion before, so I'm not really providing shocker value at all here.
