A large percentage (at least 50%) of the market for software developers will shift to lower paid jobs focused on managing, inspecting and testing the work that AI does. If a median software developer job paid $125k before, it'll shift to $65k-$85k type AI babysitting work after.

It's funny that I heard exactly this when I graduated university in the late 2000s:
