Yeah I remember Universities desperate to attract people to CS in 2003-6
And before that, in the late 90s, due to the millenium bug goldrush. Now it's 'AI'...
It's not "AI" now... There are all sorts of SWE jobs not just "AI" and pretty much all them pay well.
I've spent a couple of weeks looking at resumes from people applying for a web development position we have open and half of them mention machine learning or AI.
It will take a few years to realize the potential of AI (either side), till then bias is positive.
