Is it better to be a full stack developer or switch to some form of domain expertise ?

With the advent of chatgpt it's really easy to have entry level knowledge on pretty much any technology

Full stack devs too operate in similar manner , (good in backend can build some decent front end with bootstrap )

Basically if i have to be smarter than the AI , should I try to develop a deeper expertise on a particular stack or still prefer to jack of all master of none

    This statement actually scares me a bit.

    I guess you want your title to be "Senior ChatGpt developer" 😂

    If someone gives you a demanding task and a tight delivery time, you will fall flat on your ass so hard, you won't be able to walk straight 🙂 That is, if you want to copy paste answers from Chatgpt.

    On the serious note, If you want to be "jack of all trades, master of none", go ahead. Not saying this is bad thing tough.

    Also think about your future role. I think fullstack dev should have easier transition to some Architect position.
    On the other hand, if you specialize in some field, maybe easier to transition to some Tech lead.
