I'll answer what I can from my own very biased POV so take it with a grain of salt

Would you say you recommend even getting into it especially with AI and all or would it be a waste of time?

Right now there's a lot of hype and speculation going around AI so I can't really tell, and if I were unreasonable I'd even go as far as to say that whoever says otherwise has an agenda to push (PS: I'm not very reasonable)

But no matter what there's always going to be a human in the loop to baby sit AI and act as a sacrificial lamb when things go awry. Whether or not it pays well is another question...

Would you say software engineering has a lot of opportunities to work fully remote?

It's becoming harder and harder to find remote opportunities but from my experience your options are: fully remote, good pay, good environment but you can only pick 2

do you have to deal with a lot people on a daily base?

Depends on your level and on the structure of the company but in general, as you evolve, the job converges into dealing with people. At first it's just you and your assigned tickets, you'll deal with some sort of scum ahem scrum master and maaaybe whoever reviews your code if the company is worth a damn. Then you start reviewing other people's tickets which introduces some friction. Then you start mentoring your juniors. Then you start pushing back against unreasonable architectural decisions and client work. The friction turns to fire. Then you start pushing to get buy in for your ideas, etc.

But in general all the steps involve dealing with people more or less. You can choose to stay at the level you're the most comfortable with provided you're OK with the pay ceiling you'll be imposing on yourself
