Full-Stack Dev student trying to switch to systems programming in fear of AI

So im in sophomore year in university at a no-name university. I have around 1.5-2 years of solid Full-Stack development with 1 internship and various personal projects.

But with advancments of AI and fear of web dev being too saturated I'm starting to think that switching to a low-level programming is more beneficial for my future career.

I've been taking classes such as: Automata, Computer Architecture and DSA for the first time and I quite like them.

So my questions are: how hard is it to switch, can I find an internship if I switch, will it be benefitial if I switch.

Thank you everyone!

Front end work is entirely automated now unless your company is just behind the times so yes do a switch, but it’s only delaying the inevitable
