Ask HN: ML Engineers not negatively impacted by AI?

Does have any anecdotal evidence on whether the demand for ML engineers have increased, or at worst stayed the same? Logically, I would think that companies need more ML engineers, especially since many of them are creating their own models, and incorporating LLMs into their software.

And if they're not impacted, I guess that logical follow-up is: should new grads focus their efforts on being a ML engineer then?
