Ask HN: Go deep into AI/LLMs or just use them as tools?

Summary

I'm a software engineer with a solid full-stack background and web development. With all the noise around LLMs and AI, I’m undecided between two paths:1. Invest time in learning the internals of AI/LLMs, maybe even switching fields and working on them2. Continue focusing on what I’m good at, like building polished web apps and treat AI as just another tool in my toolboxI’m mostly trying to cut through the hype. Is this another bubble that might burst or consolidate into fewer jobs long-term? Or is it a shift that’s worth betting a pivot on?Curious how others are approaching this—especially folks who’ve made a similar decision recently.
