I would agree that a bit more is required of Pilots, but similar to truck drivers, the skill required and hence the salary provided, will go down as the AI gets better and better.

I can easily imagine that at some point, pilots are replaced with technicians who are just there to fix redundant AI systems in case of failure.

You’re describing the world we already live in. “technicians who are just there to fix redundant AI systems in case of failure” is one of the jobs of a modern pilot. It turns out that troubleshooting the redundant systems of a modern aircraft while it is in flight is also the hardest part of being a pilot, as it requires knowing every system inside and out, hence why no amount of automation will threaten their jobs.
