Demand for developers is endless. If AI can help more people be developers, and or help developers be more productive, it just means the supply of developers goes up. I would guess that this will not result in a downward pressure on wages, the demand will simply skyrocket.

I agree. I think people are looking at this through an "Amdahl's Law" lens [1] when I think it's more realistically a "Gustafson's Law" problem. It's not like we will ever get to a point where we say "oh, all the potential things that can be done have been done", we simply will find out how to do more stuff.
