I'd only really be worried about barriers to entry and composition.
One limit on wages is $ of value / hour. If AI makes existing programmers more efficient, then you would expect total wages to go up.
If AI makes it easier for folks to become programmers, then the value produced could be split over more people. Alternatively, if you need fewer programmers then more value could be captured by a few superstar winners.
