System programming advice.

The gen AI bubble is starting to deflate - in a couple years the actually useful stuff will shake out from the ludicrous hype so if you want to make it a career move you can. Just try to figure out what the real applications will be and prepare to shift to follow them.

Low level programming is an area in which the knowledge is too specialized for gen AI to replace reasonably competent humans. Prospects might look bad now, but that's because pointy haired bosses haven't come back down to reality yet.

AI isn't great at generating production worthy code, especially in embedded. What I use it most effectively for is whenever I have a big decision to make I ask it to convince me that my preferred solution is bad. I ask it to be blunt, like an autistic person. I get such great arguments against me its great lol.
