As I job-hunt, every job listed over the past year has been "AI-drive [something]" and I'm really hoping that trend subsides.

"This is an mid level position requiring at least 7 years experience developing LLMs." -Every software engineer job out there.

Reminds me of when I read about a programmer getting turned down for a job because they didn't have 5 years of experience with a language that they themselves had created 1 to 2 years prior.

Yeah, I'm a data engineer and I get that there's a lot of potential in analytics with AI, but you don't need to hire a data engineer with LLM experience for aggregating payroll data.

there’s a lot of potential in analytics with AI

I'd argue there is a lot of potential in any domain with basic numeracy. In pretty much any business or institution somebody with a spreadsheet might help a lot. That doesn't necessarily require any Big Data or AI though.
