It’s not clear if your goal is to not become outdated/replaced, or to learn AI

If you learn to leverage AI for your current role, you will not be replaced because you will be performing better than peers, and you always need an architect to design something even if someone else is building it.

If you want to go into the AI field itself, then you should make sure this is something you want to do out of a desire to learn, not a desire to be replaced, otherwise you will become overwhelmed and unmotivated.

I’d say stick with leveraging AI for rapid development instead of trying to become an AI researcher.. unless of course, it’s passion project and not desperation
