I also have this pessimism. That's why I'm pivoting to hardware and embedded programming.

I, sharing the same feeling, have taken more drastic step. Instead of changing a specialisation within IT I have recently graduated in Psychology.
Interesting! Would you mind sharing more about your story?
No, I don't mind. Psychology was always on my radar and few years back I have decided to pursue Masters in that field. This opens lots of new possibilities: practice (after additional studies), ability to conduct tests and evaluate people based on results (you need to be a Psychologist in order to use some of the tools), you can apply knowledge into other fields (e.g. HR / team management / event IT), eventually this kind of studies gives a completely new perspective. In my opinion, it was worth the time and effort.
I think psychology and prostitution will probably be the final careers. Most people care about a human being in the loop for both sex and counseling.
Well, that's one of the reasons I decided to go with psychology. Counselling suits me more.
