There are segments of the software industry where competence matters: security, finance, healthcare, games, and some more. But most of the rest of software is bodies filling seats mashing buttons.
One way to be a rising star as a button masher, framework junky, or other benchwarmer is merchandising your most valuable product, yourself. At this time nothing screams hot trend as loudly as AI. Like all hot air this bubble will eventually pop. You can choose to hop on the AI fashion train while people are throwing money to the wind or you can go back to mindless button mashing.
