The changes into industry definitely coming. But AI will affect not only programming. And handmade products will cost more than autogenerated ones.
Programming started sucks before when companies started to orient on fast income and preferred pure quality templated projects over well-made efficient ones.

The consumer never sees the code. To him, it makes no difference if there is pure elegance underneath the app or just garbled spaghetti
The user can likely tell AI-generated images and articles. But he’d have zero clue if the website used AI generated code
