Go back, and offer to bring them coffee and run errands. Offer to do something techy for them, then study like crazy. That's how I landed my first job as a programmer. Took 6 months but I was cutting VB code to automate some things in the office. But really. I wouldn't worry about AI taking your job just yet. Writing code was never really the hard part of programming. It's translating the vision to code. It's seeing the edge cases. AI's a long way away from learning that.
