I’m an old man who has been a professional software engineer for more than 25 years.
When I was a kid, everyone was talking about computers which were starting to appear on desks in people’s offices and homes. The advice given was “learn to use them.”
It was really good advice. The general sentiment was correct that everyone would need to learn to use them in the future. Nearly everyone today uses computers at work, home and school (including phones and tablets).
Many lucrative careers of the future, however, went deeper. Learning to repair them, troubleshoot them, engineer them, build software, etc…
So if your’e looking for a CS career most definitely learn to use AI to assist your work in writing code, designing circuits, maintaining databases and troubleshooting hardware issues but don’t only learn to use AI in your work. Develop an understanding of how AI itself works at a mathematical level, learn how to build and train models, see if you can design your own machine learning algorithms etc… (Even if AI completely takes over the entire field that understanding will probably take you as far as you can possibly go)
