In your case that track is just an extra class or two as part of a CS degree, right? If that’s the case, it really doesn’t matter either way. Take it if you’re interested (and you seem to be). On graduation you won’t be distinguishable from someone who didn’t take the extra classes so it neither hurts you or helps you that much. And it’s not like you would say “oh there are no Calc II jobs out there and the compiler job market is very small, let me skip those classes” - that would be ridiculous, those classes just expose you to a bunch of ideas and concepts you haven’t seen before. You can view the ML classes the same way.
