I don't think this has much to do with AI and has a lot to do with the current grads declaring their major 4-5 years ago when a confluence of factors crashed together to make programming a job straight from utopia for a short while.
The end result of this will be dirt pay for juniors to weed out who is in it for the passion and who is in it for the money.

CS grads also have the lowest underemployment rates in the list.
Art history grads will take whatever jobs they happen to find. CS grads will hold out for jobs in their area of expertise (and earn the higest wages because of it).
The mid-career wages are surprisingly low, for all careers.

I see that although unemployment is higher for CS underemployment is lower than many other majors. So I wouldn't immediately discount CS but the report is saying that CS isn't an immediate high paying job.

Well they aren't polling just Bay Area workers. It is still 2x the median salary in the US.
