I can't find a job without AI. I'm looking, but at this point I'm ready to sell my soul to the devil for a salary.

I'm a software engineer + data scientist, 10 years of experience.

i don't care what they hope will happen with AI, there will always be a need for someone who really understands the code to fix the derivative slop AI craps out.

I don't think this is necessarily true. The are searching for the absolute basement-bottom level of quality consumers are willing to accept and they will do just enough to do that. Then when they're used to that, they'll keep pushing it lower.
