PLM, which OP has expertise in, is usually tied to the IT infrastructure in the digital engineering in the manufacturing industry. That's not going away anywhere soon. We are still far away from a full automation / digitalization in these areas.
Absolutely. There are many areas where SW is focused on function and does well. It is unclear to me how AI will impact those areas. Question mark for those who have thoughts?
My point was that there is massive opportunity in areas that have not and will not be explored with the "track user" business model. Or have been abandoned. Good reads, good movies, or Groups.
