You still need solid motivation, a good sense of the fundamentals, communication skills, social skills, sales skills, and good taste to build good products with AI.

Also, I think you are conflating two things:

1. The genuine advancement (and challenges) AI brings.

2. The inevitable hordes of less scrupulous people who take advantage of every new trend to make money however they can.

I am fully immersed in building with AI and I barely notice these less scrupulous. I know they exist. They always exist. But why are you paying so much attention to them?
