imo, it really depends on what you enjoy doing. Regardless of AI, choose software development if you like to build complex systems that no-one has built before, and have enough patience to dig deep / debug things to make them work exactly as you expect.

For some of us here, it's just what we love to do, no matter what tooling is available. When I first started building my own software long time ago, it was a very slow Basic and fast raw machine codes (in octal system, PDP-11 like CPU). I enjoyed it not because of tooling, but despite of it.

Over the years, the tooling was getting better in general, which allowed us to build increasingly more complex systems.

With AI, we will still be creating & debugging. It's just that before AI, I had to spend 90% of my work on mechanical not-so-fun things to get things to work, and only 10% on fun algorithmic-intensive parts. But with AI tools, this ratio seems to change, and all kind of boilerplate code & algorithms can be written much faster by AI, hopefully leaving more time for us to work on creative part of the work.
