It's like Dorothy, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion all marching down the Yellow Brick Road singing.
"We're off the see the Wizard,
The wonderful wizard of Oz,
We hear he is a wiz of a wizard,
'Cause of all the wonderful things he does".
And that wizard turned out to be smoke and mirrors. I think companies are suffering from AI Paralysis right now. Up is down and right is left. Until things settle down and managements realize that AI is not going to be the be all to end all, rather just another tool in the tool box, it's gonna be rough going.
I feel for those kids that got those STEM degrees and can't find meaningful employment. But while their lives may have been placed on hold, by no means are they over. Over my working career, I reinvented myself at least a couple of times.
