Where have you heard that ML engineers are in high demand? I don’t think they are immune from the tech slowdown that’s affecting the industry. Of course, LLMs and AI are all the rage, but the demand for that is in the services/APIs not necessarily the demand for ML engineers

I suspect we'll see a broad slow down in classic ML approaches. If I just need a basic classifier -> GPT-4 can do an OK job. Spending an afternoon prompt tuning is vastly cheaper than a dedicated team of scientists and engineers curating datasets and running experiments. For many SMBs, this effectively eliminates the ML function.
