Everyone will start using AI to code stuff encouraged by the "cheap costs" and "quick results" that make gullible management salivate. Coding expertise will be replaced by AI expertise, knowledge and skill will become rarer and more expensive as less people take on the "hard work" of being manually smart.
Money will be in fixing AI slop, exploiting AI shortcomings and in fixing AI technical debt.
Nothing good will come of it except bringing humanity closer to extinction from the power requirements, making it dumber by providing instant sub-par gratification and making it more dangerous by pretending its results are trustworthy.
But I think it's far, far too soon to be able to make any prediction. My gut tells me this is a huge bubble and after it pops, these systems will be mostly used in a few specialty areas and outside of those, won't have that much of an impact on the workdays of most devs.

Change my mind.
Not gonna change your mind. You could be right.
