Went to career fair as employer, new grads / interns need to chill out with ML and AI

Yes, SWE. Not top companies, but I guess that's where most people end up in. Full-time is what I'm looking at, haven't checked internships.

I'm seeing a lot of kind of middle road non tech companies trying to use AI to open up new products for their company. For example, Thompson Reuters is hiring a lot of legal prompt engineers to try to add some sparkle to a relatively benign business. If these companies can present themselves as tech companies, valuations skyrocket, stocks up, acquisitions happen... etc. Sadly, hoarding all the people that are great with AI tools but less great at raw coding might not help them make the sparkly products they think they are. But worst case they'll lay off a bunch of these people, keep some, and just end up being a little faster and more efficient than before and improve profit margins.
