I have geniunely considered switching away from data science altogether for this reason.
- axelroze 5y agoWhy? The only other branch of IT that pays as good as Data Science/Engineering is Blockchain Developer. The field of AI applications will only grow and thus career opportunities as well. Are people in serious finance bothered that there are a bazzilion of scams every day, including aforementioned blockchains? No. Why should competent AI practitioners care as well?

No matter how competent you were back then, getting hired or funded to run your AI business/academic project/whatever was hard because the first wave of AI failed to deliver. Sure, now AI/ML/Data Science is very commercially/acadamically viable, but the hype has also grown spectacularly. If the general public fails to manage expectations, another AI winter cannot be ruled out.
