I think there will still be room for "debugging AI slop-code" and "performance-turning AI slop-code" and "cranking up the strictness of the linter (or type-checker for dynamically-typed languages) to chase out silly bugs" , not to mention the need for better languages / runtime that give better guarantees about correctness.
It's the front-end of the hype cycle. The tech-debt problems will come home to roost in a year or two.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Ah yes, maintenance, the most fun and satisfying part of the job. /s
Congrats, you’ve been promoted to be the cost center. And sloppers will get to the top by cranking out features you will need to maintain.
