It could be. CS and more generally tech related fields have this positive feedback loop where the technology facilitates it's own development.

For example:

The easiest and most abundant thing to learn on the web is unsurprisingly web development.

An ML engineer can use ML to optimize the data structures that he uses for his models.

I could not say the same about fields like biology or physics.

Yeah, it is funny that ML, which is biggest fears driven by the media as the ultimate job destroyers, would put this generation of programmers in danger as well.

However, the paradigm shift is inevitable, once discovered, people will use it, and use it anywhere possible.
