Concern is understandable, but I don't think I'd lose any sleep over it. The truth is that AI won't replace developers, developers using AI will replace developers who don't use AI. Adapting or exiting the profession is nothing new for us, We work in a field known for massive disruptions, and AI will be one of those.

It's just like when IDEs made programming much more approachable, software devs didn't disappear, instead the opposite happened and the industry expanded greatly. AI will make our jobs easier, and give the ability to code to a much broader audience. However think about how much of your job is actual coding vs problem-solving and designing solutions, topics that a simple transformer like chatgpt won't be able to emulate anytime soon.
