Irrespective of whether software engineering is coming to an end or not, think of it as a roller coaster ride. You are already on it, so have fun while it lasts.
Either it crashes or lands you safely.
You have to be optimistic about technology. If things go wrong, it will be the end for everyone. If AI is here to stay and you refuse to adapt, you will be left far behind.
Your best bet is to stay positive with tech ... always :)
Several years back, I got a call from a current student of ISB.
It was Day 1 of placements and the student was "struggling".
"I have an offer from McKinsey and Google. And I don't know which one to chose? Can you help?"
I didn't help. I just asked a question:

I’m 26 and I still think the world is moving too fast for me. I just can’t keep up. AI, fintech, new social media platforms — it’s like right when you finally stand straight, someone pulls the carpet from under your feet.
A part of me revolts at this pace of change.
A part of me exploits it for money and influence.
But then there’s a part of me that pines for a more self-directed life. A life without FOMO. A life where the metrics for success are so clear that there is no reason to open Instagram.
But then I’m afraid I’ll lose my edge.
That if I sit in my garden chair to read a classic, some kid in a Hyderabad basement will make an AI tool that makes reading useless.
It’s a strange kind of powerlessness.
Or maybe it’s the beginning of peace.
I don’t know yet.

You're bored because you're comfortable.
You're comfortable because you're scared of change.
You're scared of change because you lack perspective.
Don't change everything at once.
Change one thing at a time.
But don't aim small.
Big irrational goals.
Small rational steps.
