Developers know that AI will replace some of their coworkers. But only the "bad" ones who can't code as well as them. AI will learn from all of their good code and be used to generate similar code that's better than the bad devs but not as good as theirs. The problem is that every developer thinks that the coding bar is going to be just barely below their skill level.
