AI Commoditization Slashes Prompt Engineering, Basic Python, and Entry Data Analysis Salaries by Over 60% (2023-2026): Industry Trends and Business Implications
According to God of Prompt (@godofprompt), between 2023 and 2026, the rapid commoditization of artificial intelligence technologies led to dramatic reductions in salaries across several entry-level AI-related fields. Prompt engineering salaries dropped by 60% (from $95K to $38K), as over 100,000 certified professionals saw job opportunities disappear due to advanced AI models automating prompt creation (source: Twitter, Jan 19, 2026). Basic Python programming roles experienced a 61% salary decline (from $82K to $32K), as AI became more adept at writing and optimizing code. Entry-level data analysis was hit hardest, with salaries falling 64% (from $78K to $28K), as automated dashboards and analytics platforms replaced traditional analyst roles. This rapid commoditization, occurring within 18-36 months, signals a major shift in the AI job market, creating opportunities for businesses to leverage AI-driven automation while highlighting the need for professionals to upskill and move toward more advanced, strategic roles. |
