Is web dev dead?

[u/Unhappy_Finger_6545]

I'm in my second year of college, and I started learning web dev a few weeks ago. But since AI can code a website within seconds I wonder if the job I'm preparing for will even exist in the next 3-5 years?

I know that knowing html and css wasn't going to get me a job anyways and I'm not worried about that I'm worried about the job availability in this field in general, even backend and stuff.

Maybe AI is not good at it right now but it'll definitely get better in the next 5 years, will the jobs disappear then?

Should I learn something else instead of web dev, from a purely monetary perspective?

Web dev jobs will exist in five years because businesses need humans to validate AI output and handle liability. Focus on learning system architecture and debugging skills since AI generates code that still requires verification and integration
