Don't worry about AI. At most it will provide tools that will make Software Engineers more productive. It won't take their jobs.

Other than something Petroleum related, it's hard to go wrong with any Software or Engineering field in the future. What you go into should depend on your skills and passion.

That's true but I do think OP has a point that the market is becoming way more competitive since there's is quit a big stream of self-taught programmers taking up jobs.

That's true, but there will always be jobs for people with high levels of skill instead of people who watched a few YouTube tutorials.

As a software developer trying to hirer people, I’m not worried about having a job. This field goes deep and there is so much to learn. If you are half decent at your job, you will be snatched up.

Do you know how hard it is to find a person that is half decent?

It’s highly unlikely self taught programmers are taking any high paying jobs. The amount of discipline to get through school is huge, much less teaching yourself.
