Will AI decrease demand and salaries?

[u/Proud-Confidence7290]

Hello everyone.

I am new to web development and it goes well so far.

I'm bit scared of AI development. Let's say you needed 10 developers for a project before ChatGPT and now you need 8.

With the development of AI, we will need even less.

Why do people think AI won't decrease demand and salaries of web developers? It's logic for me, what am I missing?

I am a QA in Webdev company, and will say this. It is already harsh in industry not only because of AI. In my company AI for now is used as tool to enchanse our capabilities, not to downscale the team. The key here is "for now". I feel like at some point AI capabilities will hit us like a truck BUT then at some point and then will rebound a lot because market & industry will adapt. AI is a tool and you use this tool better if you now the subject which you are using AI for. Random person will not become a dev because of AI.
Surely it's only my point of view) everything can be better or worse.
