IMO not significantly. Prior to AI the bulk were tutorial based to-do apps or simple crud things anyway, its still easy to tell the difference between those and something more complex (where AI is less useful - or at least requires more skill to use successfully).

But I don't think the projects themselves really mattered all that much anyway - its the conversations you can have about them. Understanding the driving factors, whether it was solving a problem they have or just working on something they are passionate about, the challenges they overcame in the development process and the considerations/decisions they made along the way.

Yes, I agree totally. But portfolios served a great purpose to expose what you can and what you know to the world and recruiters. Which would then lead to a opportunity to talk about the projects.

We might be going back to a more oldschool approach where talking directly and presenting themselves would be more of a value again. It have always been an higher value, but now it will be kinda more forced I believe.

Another route would be that portfolios become more blog-based, talking about different solutions and problems for each project, as you are saying.
