MBSE vs Software Engineering: Which Is More AI-Resistant?

For those who have worked in both software engineering and MBSE/systems engineering: do you feel that MBSE is more resistant to automation by AI/LLMs than traditional programming roles?

My background is in software engineering, and I’m considering pursuing an M.S. in Systems Engineering. One factor I’m thinking about is long-term career stability. My intuition is that MBSE and systems engineering rely more on domain knowledge, requirements analysis, architecture, and cross-disciplinary communication, which seem harder to automate than writing code.

For engineers who have done both, do you believe MBSE is genuinely more resilient to AI disruption, or do you think AI will impact both fields similarly over the next 10–20 years?
