Specialist and generalist don’t describe something you can “be.” Think in terms of skills that will likely have value over some long term. I don’t think AI will eliminate all programmers, system admins, security experts, database administrators. AI won’t have deep domain expertise. As future LLMs train on piles of content generated by previous iterations their abilities will revert to the mean, making them no more competent than a mediocre human. Instead of worrying about what to “be” or what might happen with AI in the future, concentrate on developing valuable skills you can put to use now. Experience and domain knowledge will continue to count for something.
