Is this a bad time because of AI?

I need the honest truth, and don’t sugarcoat it please. I live in Canada and have been doing remote teaching, AI Annotation, and other forms of writing, without getting specific.
Is this a bad time to get into technical writing? I am not seeking a full-time job, as I have a full-time job. I’m looking for work as a side hustle. I am a good writer, and I’m good technically. Will I be wasting my time? Should I be educating myself in another area in order to move towards the future?

I am hearing all kinds of concerns about AI. Should I not waste my money on a technical riding course?
