It's more or less the same for me. I do dread the impact of AI on certain fields -- e.g. let's say you want to contribute to an OSS by reading the source code, GitHub issues, and making patches, but now people swarm the repo with AI so all those low hanging fruits are gone. This of course should NOT impact your decision to continue your work, but it probably does impact your morale.
For me, I'm more interested in learning the internals of systems (How do locks work, and why do we need them? How does VFS work?) and making experimental implementations in learning OSes (for sure I don't have the technical skills to implement the ideas in production OSes). AI helps by being a very good search engine, but other than that it doesn't help much, as I completely block code generation from an AI agent. Everything is discussion only.
