Now junior devs don't have to build the product of someone else's dreams; they can build the product of their own dreams.

Not everyone wants to do that though. There is a lot of extra crap that being a business owner entails. Some people just want to put in their work time and focus on other things. This basically forces everybody devote their lives to entrepreneurship.
We don't need everyone to, though. If AI increases dev productivity X-fold, and this leads to an X-fold increase in entrepreneurship, then the junior devs who want to build someone else's dream will have more opportunities to do so.
... and starve? You know what kind of people create content of their own dreams? Artists. And the stereotype isn't "well-fed artists" for a good reason.
> You know what kind of people create content of their own dreams?
Every entrepreneur that ever existed.
Yeah and 90% of startups fail. Again, for a good reason.
I simply don't understand why people are upset the ladder is being pulled up after me!?

It's democratizing for those with an idea but without the skill to convince investors to hire the juniors to implement it. It's a problem for employment numbers and macro-scale ratios of working to non-working adults.

From the second line of your comment:
> Now you don’t need to hire junior devs
Do you need GPT to put the two together? I think it's pretty obvious why folks are freaking out.
