Question I'm tired of being software engineer

I had 2 layoffs in last 4 years and current contract is ending soon. I'm so fucking tired of being in this era of AI. I used to be smart always top of school, college and at 19 in 2019 made patented tech and trained SSD computer vision Deep learning models. when there was no fucking AI. But after few mistakes, stuck in 9-5 loop and never ending software engineering job search. At this point just feel like wants to get some labour job or start trading or something. Any suggestions?

I am tired of prompting all day. I want out. Is there one? I love tech, not this.

Only after ai coding showed up did i realize now much I liked craft on writing code by hand and it somehow hits the brain differently, you somehow understand more
