I’m an EE & CS student aiming for robotics/AI, and I’ve been getting really interested in computer vision. I would want to work in either engineer teams or research teams. But after doing research on it online, I keep seeing people say CV is a dead end or basically “solved,” which has me second guessing. For those working in the field what’s the reality right now? Is CV still a good path, especially for robotics, or are opportunities actually shrinking? And how is AI affecting things? Is it making CV engineers less needed, or just changing the skillset? I’m really looking for honest answers.
